I think we can handle this by ensuring the function only gets called once,
and all platforms with special requirements call it before the common code
does.
I tried to understand what the requirement for non-zero argument is however
and couldn't figure it out. Shouldn't we just be able to specify all the
bits as DT properties all the time?
