This will do for the time being; but I'm not expecting any changes to
be made to the firmware  (however, Sven is making the attempt).  In
the long term, I think we are going to have to live with either OF
fixups; or preventing CHRP from matching the efika and adding other
fixups in the Efika's probe function.  I like Sylvain's suggestion of
moving CHRP and pseries down in the link order; but then again, I'm
neither a CHRP or pseries user.  :)

Cheers,
