P8_12   out         # X Step / DB25.2

I suspect either will work but is there a preferred method?  Searching with "BBB 
setup.sh machinekit" doesn't provide any hits that make sense.  Like this one was 
2018.  Is it too old or too new?

Should I care?

The issue is whether you're running the shell script version of config-pin, or the newer compiled version. The shell script was written to be pretty forgiving of pin number syntax and will accept a 2 or 3 digit numeric value, optionally prefixed by "p" or "P", and with an optional separator (any non-numeric character) between the first digit and any remaining digits. Two digit values are assumed to have an implicit zero in the pin number (eg: 82 -> P8_02).

I believe the compiled version of config-pin is somewhat more picky about naming conventions, but I haven't used it much.
