I agree that we should change that too, I'll send a patch for it as well.

However, this just let me stumble on the problem, without AT91 getting this
wrong, I would not have noticed that bcm63xx breaks other platforms.
The AT91 thing is just confusing but otherwise harmless, and I wouldn't
mark that fix for stable.
