> [Franklin] I see no issue with that. We should probably do the same for mmc, usb and probably some other peripherals. It won't really change anything for 335x, 437x and am57x TI evms but users of non TI boards or other TI SOCs may have an issue.

And at that point adopt some of the generic distro boot command patches
that have been posted for am335x to be to ti_armv7_common.h and update
that generic framework as needed for netboot, etc?
