You are defaulting it to be a GPIO.

It can, and it should. Thats why I mentioned to use different overlays 
for different use cases.
I think it is nicer to have a board only defining it's static components.
At this point we do not know what users will use the expansion connector 
for.
Adding this kind of functionality with overlays follows the idea of 
defining components where they are actually used/implemented: soc, 
som/board level.
You can find a few of the adapters we provide as dtsi files in
   arch/arm/boot/dts/nxp/imx/*peb*
Nowadays we have overlays and can use them instead.

This may cause confusion if you use overlays defining other 
functionalities as the names you define.
