FYI, this is the same approach as Linux. I don't expect any hardware
related breakage, however if people have already tried to workaround
the core's mistakes by doing more than expected in the SoC drivers,
maybe we will observe issues.

Sure, let me know if you have troubles, it's still fresh :-) I will
rework it a bit as it received already interesting feedback, and will
note to Cc you (as well as Dario/Michael) in v2.
