Device and Feature Identification Register Mildly Inconsistent

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3358, AM3359

Not that it's any super-critical show-stopper, more of a curiosity really... but one of the ARM boards I work is the the BeagleBone (Rev A5) with the XAM3359 in a ZCZ. 

The oddity comes when I read in the DEVICE_ID and DEV_FEATURE registers (0x44e10600, 0x44e10604 respectively). I get the correct family (AM335x ES1.0) but the feature id returns the AM3358 feature bits, not AM3359:  0x20FF0383, not 0x20FE0383.

Is this something that's field adjustable? I thought it was fixed in the silicon during manufacture. Either that or something's mislabeled, or perhaps maybe the Memorial Day weekend Drunk-O-Thon started early without my knowledge ;-)  Perhaps is a AM3359 with feature identity disorder?

Thanks!
