OK thanks for the info.

Sounds like we should keep it disabled though so u-boot can be used to toggle it while waiting for the capemgr. That's because the board has a header for pins, so it's not exactly limited to just the capes.
Anybody working on enabling/disabling cape dtb configurations in u-boot?
