This sounds like something that firmware should take care of, not
hardcoded in the board code.  Seems like the device is just a PCI device
that doesn't have a device tree entry.

Well, it's not a PCI device at all.

Really? You use a PCI quirk to manipulate it.

Why not do this in u-boot instead?

Why do it there?  We'd have to do it _again_ in Linux
if we didn't come in from U-Boot anyway.

The same argument could be used to motivate not doing any kind of board
inits in any firmware and do it all from the board code in linux.

Don't you guys use M1575 on other eval boards too, so you'll need the
same board quirk duplicated?
