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.
