I don't think we should until we have a clearer view of whether it's
needed or not. If it turns out that they are not using it, and that we
need to remove it from the DTSI, it's going to be a nightmare to track
down what board actually needs what pin.

Yeah, the sinA33 is using an eMMC, so it's not relevant here.
