[U-Boot] [PATCH] ARM: mx6: Disable PCIe on SABRE Lite/Nitrogen6x

When I communicated about the bug I had,
and said that my temporary workaround was to disable the PCIe,
my intention was not to make the suppression become a standard,
and I believe it is a little bit frustrating for Marek.

The AMOS820, based on the sabrelite/nitrogen has a PCIe slot on the main 
board,
so there might be some interest of having the PCIe support enabled.

To my mind, the bug is in the kernel I am using, it should be robust
to the fact that PCIe has been formerly probed.

Wouldn't that be smarter to have the PCIe enabled or not,
by an environment variable (defaulted to YES, and that the user could 
set to NO eventually for older kernels) ?
Best regards

Thierry
