Let's see what the bug is in the end, but I don't think a config could be
"wrong" in a way to trigger such a bug. Even misconfiguration can be handled
gracefully with code.

Did you get any further during this day?

Okay, I had a look at this one today.

For starters, you could move some kerel-parameter to the board-file and create the
devices as needed depending on that:

if (gpmi_nand)
	mx28_add_gpmi_nand(&mx28evk_gpmi_nand_data);
else
	mx28_add_mxs_mmc(1, &mx28evk_mmc_pdata[1]);

or something alike unless I miss something. This is probably not the best
solution as well, but at least it keeps the driver free from the
board-configuration.
