Read the SDMMC section of the T30 TRM (24.6.1.2 - 5), and you'll see
that there is no config info given for SDMMC2 or SDMMC4 GP regs.
SDIO1CFG covers SDMMC1, SDIO3CFG covers SDMMC3 thru DAT3, and SDIO2CFG
covers the other 4 DAT pins, which are unused for SDIO on Cardhu.  So
there will never be a need to write to any GP SDIOxCFG registers for
SDMMC2 or SDMMC4 on Tegra30, at least as per this section of the TRM.
Note that it seems SDMMC2 doesn't even have a 'cfg' pingroup register
called out in Table 29, and SDMMC4 is split between 3 different
gm[abcd]cfg groups.  So the above code covers all SDIO pad cfg
settings as per the TRM.

Disagree, see above.

That's certainly doable, and probably a good idea if there were any
other code that requires pad cfg to be tuned, but I don't see that in
the TRM anywhere. This patchset is specifically to enable MMC on
Tegra30. Adding pad_cfg_ctrl tables/macros, and code to handle them is
something I see happening in a separate patchset, if at all, since I
don't see any other pad cfg registers that ever need writing (beyond
SDMMC1/3).
