Yes, it is. You will also need a per-board set of functions
to answer the "configuration issues" in a way similar to the
rest of the 85xx and 86xx boards.

You will have to carefully juggle the presence of the
"new" and "old" simultaneously (via CONFIG_FSL_DDR2, likely)
until all the 83xx boards are supported under the new mechanism.
