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.
