?Actually we should do this regardless of this extension board. The USB
?pins are not multiplexed and are exposed on user accessible pins (just
?not soldered, but that's a detail), so I think they qualify for DT
?enablement. And even if a user can't use them, it doesn't hurt to have
?them (since they are not multiplexed).

My main concern about this is that we'll leave regulators enabled by
default, for a minority of users. And that minority will prevent to do
a proper power management when the times come since we'll have to keep
that behaviour forever.

I think these users can add a 'fdt set /xxx/xxx status "disabled" ' .
