Yes, I guess it can be hardwired, but currently it is not and the values
all default
to 0. The bootloader does set it up, but only when the system is booting
from
the SD/MMC source. When booting from other flash medium(i.e. NAND,
QSPI), these SD/MMC settings are not set, so they must be set by the OS
if SD/MMC is to work correctly.
