Ah I see. I can drop for CPU devices then. Since I didn't see any use for
them, I set the flag, but I can drop it now or you can do that as part
of that series. There are quite a few devices(especially the ones
registered under system subsys can set this but I would take it separate
once we settle on this). Also Rafael may have seen use for few more
devices when he suggested this.
