I don't think this is breaking anything, in premise all 3 CPU interfaces
are completely interchangeable, with the notable fact that port 8
happens to have the flow accelerator block available for re-circulation
of packets if we wanted to support a NATP offload at some point in the
future.
Vivek, maybe you can add ports 5 and 7 in the Device Tree and mark them
as disabled for now.
