Since Linux should not rely on initialisations made by the firmware and
must itself initialise necessary hardware, this would suggest that the
board-specific code in the kernel should take care of proper bridge
initialisation. Anyway, U-Boot can't guess all OS requirements. This is
what we do on many boards (including MPC8272ADS) and we never had such
problems.
