Either way i think the purpose of the whole thing was to show bran that he can affect things that happened in the past to influence the present. Or in other words - it allows the show creators to basically do whateverthefuck they want.
It also shows, that he can't change the past. He influences it to change the present, but it explained why Hodor said "Hodor" for 30 years. So it is not too freaky. It is not like there are different timelines, they just have the possibility to lazy-explain some stuff with it.
Plus: Maybe Brann can not influence just fucking everything. He was only able to control Hodor the whole time because of his simple mind. (Then again, the guy from the wildlings who is able to control animals is shown to control "normal" humans in the later books, so who knows how far they go with that ability). Still, he is not changing the past, he is influencing it. But from the present time point of view, that influence already happened.
