1. The pin mappings are now complete for the 4357. @ppisa wanted a new board option.
2. EMAC pin mappings are a  binary choice for HDK and launchpad, but `BOARD_LCHXL2` right now also controls some PHY wiring options. (ex. which clk drives PHY - `TMS570_PHY_REFCLK_ECPDIV` , PHY power down pins - `TMS570_PHY_PWRDOWN_GIOA_PIN` ). An option just for EMAC pin mappings could be a better choice.
3. A terminology note: https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tms570lc4357.pdf?ts=1787465610186&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.ti.com%252Fproduct%252FTMS570LC4357 table 4-29 names "default" and "alternate" terminals ("default" used by launchpad, "alternate" used by HDK).
