Not ideal to rely on the bootloader for this sort of initialization,
and if we want to do this change, perhaps it should be done in another
patch.

But again, the fact that "it works for Marvell because their vendor
U-Boot does the right thing prior to loading Linux" is not really a
very solid argument to drop kernel code :-/
