P1023 support is deferred.

It is a hardware limitation. Peripherals in the platform will not be operating
during the jog mode frequency transition process.
I can make it "default n".

Sorry, It should be "jog".

You are right. I will not bind this to the guts node.

Just an alias name. If this is improper, I could use mpc85xx_enter_deep_sleep() directly.
