The GPIO recovery triggers an Erratum where the SoC locks up so I'd 
prefer to see it gone (basically a version of that offload Erratum from 
the early Armada-XPs).

I think it's all academic because I'm pretty sure I'm the only one 
actually running an upstream kernel on the AC5X. Marvell still ship a 
horribly out of date fork in their official SDK.
