Good to hear those pins are not rerouted. But considering we
already have mmc3 defined in omap5-uevm.. And the SDIO bus
is meant to be probed.. And the boards have WLAN connectors but
unpopulated.. I'd say it's safe to have it mapped in the dts :)

BTW, I have a few patches coming for omap5-board-common.dtsi
and basic igepv5 support pending some more testing. That makes
it easy to add omap5-uevm related variants easily.

Regards,

Tony
