just an overview note here ... the Blackfin OTP is actually IP we
bought from someone (not sure if i can say more, although i dont know
the details myself ... i'd have to go ask around), so much of the
feedback i give about the structure of it most likely (hopefully) be
applicable to other people who have purchased this IP. if/when anyone
who is also using this IP steps forward, we could even see about
generalizing the bfin-otp driver.
