Without default, won't this prompt user now ? I would have explicit default n
if we are adding this. But why do we need this is my question ? This would
be a quirk IMO on systems where FC is broken. I don't want people to enable
this during testing and ship f/w with FC broken(or not developed yet).

We can add this if some platforms really need this as a quirk in the future.
Thoughts ?
