The interrupt-controller property in /chosen just points to the
system's top-level interrupt controller to make it easier for the
kernel to find in the tree.  I think most platforms don't actually
need or use it at present, but booting-without-of does recommend it.

As such it's a property of the board, not something which will change
from boot to boot.  It would therefore be rather strange for the
bootloader to poke this property.
That's all the more reason to delete the 'chosen' section, isn't it? 
Sicne it's wrong, deleting the entire section will just make the problem 
go away.  Or am I missing something?
