There is a reason why my working branch was called "plsdsif"
(short for "Please don't shout at me in Finnish")

Ok

In this case lets implement a switch which enables the pull ups for DDR
mode and lets disable it by default in turn.
This way we can make sure that we don't have doubled pull up,
since this could actually mess up some circuitry.

Ok. I will work on it this evening.

Ok. I will create another branch and will incorporate your DTS files.

Sounds good to me...

I imagine that a messy approach. Especially if I'm supposed to refactor
the patchset into a new one...
