Dear Hector Palacios,

We're on the same board there. According to FSL, this is needed on some versions 
of MX28 (translation from the techsupp language: we have no idea where this code 
came from nor what it does, so we will tell you it's important and you shouldn't 
touch it).

I believe the powercode will need a revision and I'll likely get to it once I'm 
done with my current hacking.

I'd ack the rename. Fabio?
