As you said, I don't want to make thing complex too. I don't want to
have mx51_dt or
mx53_dt as Shawn Suggests and I still don't want to make it change to
mx5 now as you suggest
Since this patch only support mx51 currently. I think it's easy to
make change later once mx53 in-deed
added in DT support, what do you think?
