Works for me, but then please don't make anything depend on
CONFIG_ARCH_SEATTLE. Everything you need for seattle support should be possible
to select without the easy enable switch until we see a good reason to have one
;).
So in this particular case, we shouldn't build the device tree depending on
CONFIG_ARCH_SEATTLE but rather slways which again means the switch does not
need to get introduced by this patch ;)
But at the end of the day, this is Catalin's subsystem and his opinion counts
more than mine. Catalin, do you have strong feelings in any direction here?
