I forgot about that.  Well, everything I said is true about the ngpixis,=20
so I guess I should use "ngpixis" instead of just "pixis" here.  I'll have=
=20
to check if the old pixis can be used this way.

Ok, I get it now.  Is there a name for the CPLD we use on these chips?=20
I'm having a hard time getting proper documentation on the CPLD.  York=20
expressed similar frustration.

Perhaps these should be called board-control devices.  How about

	fsl,boardcontrol-cpld
	fsl,boardcontrol-ngpixis
	fsl,boardcontrol-qixis
