This router is currently not enabled in Openwrt

You have to be careful here. Not everything runs OpenWRT. You cannot
break backwards compatibility in mainline, simple as that. You need to
ensure that mainline does not see a change in the CPU port.

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.
