Currently I'm mostly doing U-Boot work, so I didn't test Linux more than
some simple boot tests.

I thought about this, but decided not to do so as I felt it doesn't do
much harm in there. But I can certainly change this if you think it
really should be split out.

Hm, I don't know what that would buy us. It's not like we are trying to
make use of the maximum feature set of each chip to get the last bit of
performance. IMHO it's better to just use a safe subset of the features
to keep this driver small and understandable.
