Indeed. If static options seem to work with most of SOC, this forbids
having single binary for MX6. We should use some "quirk" as in kernel to
provide SOC specific fixes.

I see that there is already a similar case for cp15, and there is a
_weak function for it:

void __weak v7_arch_cp15_set_acr(u32,..

and SOC can have there specialties there. Maybe you can add the fix as
weak function in ARM code, and then in arch/arm/cpu/armv7/mx6/soc.c you
can do the runtime check.

Best regards,
Stefano Babics
