My intent was not to convince, but to explain.

Certainly back in the OMAP3 days there were bootloaders that got SDRAM and 
GPMC timings wrong.  No way did I want to be chasing down kernel "bugs" 
based on those.

Anyway, once people finish fixing the drivers, then we should be able to 
switch to late hwmod reset.
