I don't want to couple the gpcv2 driver with a SoC. Let's use your suggestion CONFIG_SOC_IMX7D
for now, because it introduce less modifications.

Either to export a variable or a function, you will finally meet the same problem
:where to declare it? Otherwise the same compile error will happen too.
