As far as I was able to verify with UltraRisc, this is a bug with the
cp100 cores and not the DP-1000 SoC, what that means is that any other
board using those cp100 cores should have the same bug. And I agree
that the function naming in this patch makes it confusing and seem
like this is an issue to the dp1000, I'll reword those in a v3.
