No, while imx_setup_pad can include the pad control, the mux defines
above do not include one and in this case the pad configuration is not
written (iomux-v3.h:137). So the imx_setup_pad above only touches the
mux configuration, but keeps the pad configuration as is.

Yes, on my board this adds a newline within the PBL console.

Because this boards supports the PBL console and setup_uart is required
for the PBL console to work, since the PBL does not parse this
information from the DT.

No, conveniently the board uses the default configuration for UART one.
The muxing setup for the PBL console could be removed. Sascha, what do
you think?
