That's a good point. How about use some different name for
the new macro? Something like AM33XX_PADCONF maybe?

Note that there is a huge number of out-of-tree board specific
dts files for various devices. So let's also keep the old
macro for now. We could make produce a warning, then we can
drop it later on few merge cycles later.
