Actually, it's more than that.  I don't want to force users to upgrade
their firmware on the lite5200.  Linux boots on it fine now with old
firmware (using cuimage), it should continue to boot.  Doing board
specific fixups at Linux setup_arch time to work around
old/buggy/not-quite-what-we-want firmware is reasonable.  We must do
this on the Efika too.

Cheers,
