That make sense to me. The patch looks good. However, shouldn't we also
add Fixes tag and Cc: stable tag - so that this gets backported to older
stable kernels.
Fixes: c144bc719234 ("powerpc/pasemi: Move PHB discovery")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
I think the fixes tag should be above - but feel free to correct that.
Otherwise looks good to me. Feel free to add:
