I'm talking about opening the door to a ton of options, not that we
have them now. For example, your patch doesnt handle the USB PHYs if
they are on the MDS instead of the SYS board. It doesn't handle
setting SCCR properly for different frequency choices. I'm concerned
about where to draw the line because of all the ways a user can
configure the MDS board.
