Yes (you need to check for module too, there's a macro for that the name
of which escapes me right now).

Well, the i.MX thus far has had relatively few of these always present
type devices - it makes sense to make things conditional for devices
with external signals but for things entirely within the SoC the above
is less work.

That seems like more work than is needed for boards, same issue applies.
