This is not a bug actually but it is not obvious because there was a
separate definition added in bcm_sf2_regs.h for port 8 named
CORE_IMP_CTL. The logic in b53_regs.h is:

#define B53_PORT_CTRL(i)                (0x00 + (i))

and due to the memory map used in bcm_sf2, that would translate into:

8 << 2 = 0x20 which is correct here and matches the definition of
CORE_IMP_CTL.

in fact, the new code is more correct because any port could be a DSA
CPU port, whereas before we assumed that port 8 == CPU port, which is
not necessarily true.

Thanks!
