Yes, that's why I mentioned it in the commit message as follows:

If it is preferred having this as a separate commit I can ask Stefan to 
submit one once he returns from his vacation next week.

Sure, I actually checked elsewhere as it is 1-to-1 how it got accepted 
for the Colibri T30.

Dito.

Dito.

Please excuse our ignorance. I will fix it and ask Stefan to do the same 
for the Colibri T30 DT.

Yes, you are absolutely right. This is a remnant of our tries to use 
aliases thereof to solve the predominant MMC block device ordering 
issue. I will remove them.

No, not odd at all. Our Apalis Evaluation Board does actually feature an 
8-bit MMCplus socket which while such cards are rather rare can be used 
to test this functionality in preparation of maybe designing an 
additional albeit then non-removable eMMC onto their custom carrier 
boards. So nothing wrong with that I believe.

Sure, dito Colibri T30 DT again.

Sure, the only question is ordering based on what. I choose the actual 
Tegra PWM instance while you propose to use our Apalis instance 
numbering which in this particular case turns out to be the opposite but 
makes us even more happy to comply.

Good question which I asked Stefan earlier as well. He proposed to start 
with 101 in the module dtsi while starting with 1 in the board dts. But 
I guess starting with 100 resp. 0 might be more C programmer friendly.

Yes, that makes sense. Please understand that our current mainlining 
effort started long before we even learned about the existence of those 
scripts. Let me look into adding this there as well.
