This is what it's doing at the moment. One can ague if this is a good idea or not.
We kind of have to do it again in Linux because we don't know what was loaded or if it will match the drivers we have. There are boards that load CPM microcode patches, aren't running U-Boot, and would often fail because we couldn't keep the Linux configuration or driver modifications in sync with the board boot roms.
Thanks.
