And fix the spaces around the if() while we're at it, aka:
/*
* Disable DMA prefetch for the P600.
* An ASIC bug may result in a prefetch beyond
* physical memory.
*/
if (board_id == 0x3225103C) {
u32 dma_prefetch = readl(c->vaddr + I2O_DMA1_CFG);
writel(dma_prefetch | 0x8000, c->vaddr + I2O_DMA1_CFG);
}
