if its actually unused then it might be best to completely drop the code
raher than fixing up dead-code. Is the EXYNOS the only system that had
this device in use ? If it shold stay in then setting it to the above
proposed 3000, 4000 would seem the most resonable to me as I asume this
change would stay untested.
