Yes, I just gave the new patch a try and noticed (still) a problem on Sequoia. 
The PCI host bridge (PPC) is listed upon bootup which was not the case with 
the U-Boot version prior to the first patch.

I definitely hope so. Even though I will probably not find the time to submit 
a patch to really fix this problem till the scheduled release date. But I 
will gladly test a patch. :)

Or perhaps we should revert the first patch and give it another try in the 
next merge-window when/if a new patch is available.

Best regards,
