Ok, I see your point now.  Sorry for being dense.

At the moment, I'm building a kernel that is only going to run on this
particular board, so the kconfig solution works *for me*.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure I can help develop a more generic
solution.  I can't reliably reproduce the problem, so I can't even
offer to help test for it.

Even more unfortunately, I don't currently have the bandwidth to do
any more investigation or experimenting with the devtree option (as
much as I would like to!).  At this point in my project, I probably
can't even justify trying to switch to a more current kernel, so I
couldn't try out a new release regardless.

Sorry I can't be more help.

Thanks again,
Tony
