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);
	}
