If your target is just the iwg23s, this is indeed fine.
However, you may have customers who want to use this SoC in their own products,
and thus aren't limited to the pins available on iwg23s.
Including this support upstream makes their life easier. While not everything
can be tested, it will at least have received some review.
Anyway, I'll queue this series in sh-pfc-for-v4.20.
