So if I don’t define these in DTS then this program fails. So Please how to disable these. These should be optional. I have following options to disable these.

I chatted with James and I think we like this option the best.  If you 
set a build flag that is enabled by default, it will let you disable the 
features you don't need in a .bbappend.  This will let you remove the 
pins you don't use and still allow for easier detection when an expected 
pin isn't working.

Thanks,
