Hi Olaf.

I specifically changed this because this kernel is
NOT compatible with the device tree of the legacy
kernel (2.6.16) that used PS3PF.

If this was set as PS3PF, then there would be no
way to tell that an incompatible DT has been passed.

See my patch below how I use it to work around the
incompatability:
