Sorry, I'll do so next time.

Indeed. Since these are based on Freescale's ADS board,
I'm not sure what means these loops, but these not necessary for my board.
I'll remove these code of the CPLD initializing.

Probably, this is not needed.
I'll remove this.

Okay, and it seems that I should fix something else too.

Indeed. I think so too.
I'll rework.
