I fully support this idea; this easy:

* comparing code against Linux kernel;
* backporting code from Linux kernel;
* correctness (as we don't need to change it every time we add something "new");
* avoid continuous inspection of this during U-Boot work (often we
need to double check the pins are known and which name has been used);
