Do you have any updates on this?  The SOC_SIFIVE disable thread floated 
back to the top of my inbox and I didn't see anything there.  I'd prefer 
to avoid chasing around Kconfig disables for a bunch of stuff that we're 
just going to fix soon, but if this is going to be a big change then 
it's likely for next cycle anyway so in that case I'll start picking up 
these compile disable patches.

Not trying to rush any thing here, just don't want to have a bunch of 
broken configs.
