Thanks for fixing it. Just adding few more info from what I see.
OPAL was stuck at cec-power-down, since it expects an ipmi-bt device for
shutdown to work in QEMU.
So, the issue was not directly due to missing BMC device, rather due to
missing 'isa-ipmi-bt' device, which the patch does fix, and hence the
issue is fixed.
But still the dts we have is different from what we should have at
pnv_reset. Adding a pnv_dt_create at the end of pnv_reset, as it used to
be before, gives me a 'bmc' node also in device tree.

This isn't handled at machine_init_done as 'pnv->bmc' is not set at this
time
Two ways to fix it:
1. Have pnv_dt_create in pnv_reset as well, like previously
2. Move the pnv_bmc_find code in pnv_reset to pnv_init
What do you say ?

One minor note, all other machines in qemu use 'machine_done' as the
notifier name, but I am good with 'machine_init_done' also, as this
makes more sense to me.
