[MinnowBoard] HDMI level shifters and revision A4

Hi Dave,

I am using the TI TFP401 as the DVI decoder.

I thought about spinning another revision of the board with an additional
level shifter, but given that these are present on the A4 revision, my
preference is just to get this revision and everything should play nice.

Thanks,

Leigh
