Well, understood I guess... it's an effective way to avoid hearing bad
news :-)

NXP have to target the chip's worst case load and noise, you only have
to target the A5 worst case, so I guess it can all work out.  But its
our problem then to make sure we can switch the worst things around like
GSM / GPS power with 4.7uF and not make a big spike on VB_SYS.
