E.g. OMAP3503 does not contain a DSP. We shouldn't be trying to  
disable/ manage the clocks for
DSP on this processor. Same for SGX.

Why can't the detection happen at runtime?

AIUI the ID bits are the same (linux misdetect the 3530 on my beagle  
for a 3430). I heard that the only definitive way to do it at runtime  
is to CRC check the ROM code.

Jason, is that correct?

Enabling NEON is support iby default is just based on the number of  
requests I have been getting
from various users.

Huh?
