Victor, while at it, can you do a fixup patch on top of it that guards
the new feature with a Kconfig option like some of the other ones so
that the code for it doesn't get compiled in when building, for example.
for 405GP only ?

The trick is to have the option not be part of the possible mask, so
that the compiler optimises out the feature tests as if (0) (gcc
nowadays is supposedly smart enough to rip off the code when it finds
such constructs).

Thanks !

Cheers,
Ben.
