[PATCH] Directly reference i8259 at 4d0 nodes in mpc8641_hpcn.dts.

[Zhang Wei-r63237]

Is it a good idea? Why we can not endure the "linux,phandle = <4d0>" in
i8259 node? And besides, this node was already referenced by the other
entries.

Using "&/soc8641 at f8000000/pci at 8000/i8259 at 4d0" or label seems so verbose
and weird.
