Well, I think there is a coupling that exists between whatever your
boot rom is and the kernel.  If you are trying to optimize boot time
I'd say one thing you would want is to avoid multiple writing the
same configuration registers.

I dont have an issue if a fixed function board decides to do these
things in their kernel init instead of their boot rom.  I however,
don't want thousand and one config options to support all the various
ways one can configure the Freescale board.

We won't have the thousand and one config options, making use of the
device
tree.  So this is not a problem.

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.
