Maybe it's just me being dumb, but I keep finding things difficult to
understand, such as the above paragraph.

It sounds like you're saying that _before_ this patch, port 5 is the
active CPU port, but the CPU_PORT *FIELD* NOT BITS are set such that
port 6 is the active CPU port. Therefore, things are broken, and this
patch fixes it.

Or are you saying that after this patch is applied, port 5 is the
active CPU port, but the CPU_PORT *FIELD* is set to port 6. If that's
true, then I've no idea what the hell is going on here because it
seems to be senseless.

I think at this point I just give up trying to understand what the
hell these patches are trying to do - in my opinion, the commit
messages are worded attrociously and incomprehensively.
