OK, I assume you mean this note:

Boot loader should not enable hardware power sequencer. Boot loader
should enable the required PLLs in software controlled state.

That's interesting, since I explicitly added the code to program PLLE in
HW controlled mode after discussing with the relevant HW engineers the
need to clean up the programming sequence in the following pages, and it
was clearly communicated that this was in the context of a bootloader,
and they pointed out that the bootloader needed to enable HW control but
didn't. Sigh. I guess I should have read the sections prior to the
programming sequence too.

So I guess this change is OK, and since we have it downstream it seems
to operate OK in practice too.
