Possibly incorrectly.

The point is to fix u-boot so that it *does* work with only one dts.  If
people not upgrading u-boot is your concern, we could put the fixup in the
Linux platform code instead.

And feel free to ask through official Freescale support channels why the
U-Boot that shipped on these boards does not have such a fixup (or why they
decided it was better to make late-rev 8313's interrupt assignments match
other 83xx than for all revs of the same part number to have the same
interrupt assignments).
