Could you add a label? Thanks to this it would be possible to
enable/disable it at board level in a esay way.

What about adding status = "disabled" ?

Thanks to this we can enable it at board level only if we really want
it, it would avoid nasty regression on boards that don't need it, if an
issue occurs. Unless you are sure that it is completely safe to enable
it for everyone.

Thanks,

Gregory
