this is part of my conversation with Teddy Wang of Silicon Motion:
"I think you can remove it .  SM750LE is a special version. And it's
just a IP core. No one except huawei will use it."

and moreover I donot have that 750LE hardware to test any changes.
I just have the SM712 and SM750 hardware. so ....

now, whatever you decide .. I will surely like to have the code in
place.
