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. -- Regards, Sudeep
