No. It's 2 things. First the NAP must be disabled depending on the
errata (7450 + L3), but also, neither the 7450 nor the 7455 support
DOZE, they can only NAP or do nothing. Worst, on the 7455, it's bad
to set HID0:DOZE as it actually has a different meaning.
So let's split the can doze & can nap into 2 different features.
