Hi Julian, I've tested this on real hardware, and it fails to boot. I don't think it makes sense for this to be a module, since most of the devices in this SoC are pin-mappable and need muxing to be configured before they can be probed. Let's rather fix this by making it a bool. I'll send a patch shortly. -- Andrew
