If there is i8259 node in the device tree, it should be suggesting

nodes.
No, we need to work with existing device trees.  Just because they're
hosted in the kernel tree doesn't mean they can be treated as an
internal kernel implementation detail.  They are stable API with
external entities such as bootloaders and hypervisors, get forked for
custom boards, etc.

Boards with this problem should set fsl_pci_primary in platform code
based on whatever criteria is relevant.
