Sure, but i still cannot see the problem. Are you concerned about
hardware damage, different behavior in comparison to your downstream BSP
or overwriting the bootloader defaults?

Yes and i would consider the line names as static and board specific.

I agree most of the line names on the Raspberry Pi contains a function,
which wasn't the best idea for an expansion header. But this doesn't
mean we must do this here, too.

I just want to give you feedback from my point of view as a user. I
would expect that the gpio line names are defined regardless of the used
overlay.

But at the end it's your product.
