So, this is something that I've asked TI to make.  The issue here is
that for all official TI EVMs there is a desire to have a consistent set
of commands available to the users.  I think that long term, we do need
to make more things globally be default y as well.  But I see this more
as being akin to DISTRO_DEFAULTS, in that it's a collection of default
that a group sees as being important.
