[PATCH 1/1] spapr.c: remove 'ibm,chip-id' from DT

[Daniel Henrique Barboza <danielhb413@gmail.com>]

The attribute 'ibm,chip-id' does not exist in PAPR. This alone would be
enough reason to remove it from the spapr DT, but before doing that,
let's give a brief context on how and why it was introduced.

'ibm,chip-id' was added in the spapr DT by commit 10582ff83279. This
commit references kernel commit 256f2d4b463d ("powerpc: Use ibm, chip-id
property to compute cpu_core_mask if available"). In this kernel commit,
the 'ibm,chip-id' DT attribute is being used to calculate the
cpu_core_mask in traverse_siblings_chip_id(). This function still need
to consider 'ibm,chip-id' not being available as well to avoid breaking
older guests.

Later on, kernel commit df52f6714071 ("powerpc/smp: Rework CPU topology
construction") removed traverse_siblings_chip_id() and its callers,
making the CPU topology calculation independent of the 'ibm,chip-id'
attribute. Today, the kernel uses 'ibm,chip-id' for PowerNV related code
only - the pseries kernel does not rely on it.

All that said, since it's not in PAPR and the pseries kernel does not
rely on it, let's remove ibm,chip-id from the DT.
