That's not a very good reason though. There will be several drivers like that. > 2.

As I understand it we already do the init twice, this is just a case of knowing what stage we are at. > 3. There are some other architecture-dependent stuff in the > arch_fsp_init() that is not suitable to be put in a FSP driver. But I am suggesting having a driver specific to the arch, not a generic one, so this should not be a problem.
