Out of your series, this is the only one that has possible side effects
to existing set-up in that if you had multiple CPU ports defined, today,
we would stop at the first one, whereas now, we will set them all up. I
believe this is right way to do it, but have not had time to fire up a
test on a BCM7278 w/ bcm_sf2 and this patch series to confirm that, will
do that first thing tomorrow morning.

Great stuff, thanks!
