Stephen brings up a good point in that this is a ChromeOS specific
work-around for a real issue. With my TI hat on, we've been pushing
the idea that our releases will be mainline + patches, and those patches
will be things that are either backports, works in progress or simply
not mainlineable patches (enforce a CONFIG_BOOTDELAY of 3 for all
boards, add mojo to just load uImages to their XIP address, etc). In my
mind, this patch falls into the last grouping and I hope you're OK with
just holding onto this as a not appropriate for mainline change.
The rest of the series looks fine and no need to respin, I'll just skip
this patch when I pick it up, assuming no further changes are needed
elsewhere.
