It seems like the cleanest approach if we get a lot of these, but then again it is probably very rare, and I'd like to avoid adding such infrastructure if it's just for one SoC. Could we add a hack in the machine initialization instead? I think ideally this would be done in the boot loader before we even start Linux, but I don't know if that's possible for you. Arnd
