The dilemma here is we heavily depend on the PCIe/e1000 for remote boards in our
boardfarms. Once this patch is merged, we will lose network under u-boot. The
network interfaces of LS1 itself are used for benchmark and other purpose. We
surely can reconfigure the boards but that impacts all the auto scripts.

I would prefer to have PCIe/e1000 working first.
