With the current support I could drop .init_early and .init_late
I believe. All the other mx53 functions are needed to successfully
boot.

imx53_handle_irq is easy to fix, it is just defined to be
tzic_handle_irq anyway.

mx53_map_io and mx53_init_irq are coded in mm-imx5.c. They look strait
forward. Do you want me to create imx50 specific versions in there?

Regards
Greg
