Thing is that this part of the code is result of C/P from other boards. 
On some it's really neded like dlink dns320 or dns325 i dont remember 
which one. On some like ib62x0 it's not.

So whenever somebody sends patch for kirkwood board I want them to
double check if this is needed.

IMHO it should not have any effect.
