commit 6bd825f02966be8ba544047cab313d6032c23819 upstream.

In order to enable the DIU video controller on the P1022DS, the FPGA needs
to be switched to "indirect mode", where the localbus is disabled and
the FPGA is accessed via writes to localbus chip select signals CS0 and CS1.

To obtain the address of CS0 and CS1, the platform driver uses an "indirect
pixis mode" device tree node.  This node assumes that the localbus 'ranges'
property is sorted in chip-select order.  That is, reg value 0 maps to
CS0, reg value 1 maps to CS1, etc.  This is how the 'ranges' property is
supposed to be arranged.

Unfortunately, the 'ranges' property is often mis-arranged, and not just on
the P1022DS.  Linux normally does not care, since it does not program the
localbus.  But the indirect-mode code on the P1022DS does care.

The "proper" fix is to have U-Boot fix the 'ranges' property, but this would
be too cumbersome.  The names and 'reg' properties of all the localbus
devices would also need to be updated, and determining which localbus device
maps to which chip select is board-specific.

Instead, we determine the CS0/CS1 base addresses the same way that U-boot
does -- by reading the BRx registers directly and mapping them to physical
addresses.  This code is simpler and more reliable, and it does not require
a U-boot or device tree change.

Since the indirect pixis device tree node is no longer needed, the node is
deleted from the DTS.

Pull powerpc merge from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
 "Here's the powerpc batch for this merge window.  It is going to be a
  bit more nasty than usual as in touching things outside of
  arch/powerpc mostly due to the big iSeriesectomy :-) We finally got
  rid of the bugger (legacy iSeries support) which was a PITA to
  maintain and that nobody really used anymore.

  Here are some of the highlights:

   - Legacy iSeries is gone.  Thanks Stephen ! There's still some bits
     and pieces remaining if you do a grep -ir series arch/powerpc but
     they are harmless and will be removed in the next few weeks
     hopefully.

   - The 'fadump' functionality (Firmware Assisted Dump) replaces the
     previous (equivalent) "pHyp assisted dump"...  it's a rewrite of a
     mechanism to get the hypervisor to do crash dumps on pSeries, the
     new implementation hopefully being much more reliable.  Thanks
     Mahesh Salgaonkar.

   - The "EEH" code (pSeries PCI error handling &amp; recovery) got a big
     spring cleaning, motivated by the need to be able to implement a
     new backend for it on top of some new different type of firwmare.

     The work isn't complete yet, but a good chunk of the cleanups is
     there.  Note that this adds a field to struct device_node which is
     not very nice and which Grant objects to.  I will have a patch soon
     that moves that to a powerpc private data structure (hopefully
     before rc1) and we'll improve things further later on (hopefully
     getting rid of the need for that pointer completely).  Thanks Gavin
     Shan.

   - I dug into our exception &amp; interrupt handling code to improve the
     way we do lazy interrupt handling (and make it work properly with
     "edge" triggered interrupt sources), and while at it found &amp; fixed
     a wagon of issues in those areas, including adding support for page
     fault retry &amp; fatal signals on page faults.

   - Your usual random batch of small fixes &amp; updates, including a bunch
     of new embedded boards, both Freescale and APM based ones, etc..."

I fixed up some conflicts with the generalized irq-domain changes from
Grant Likely, hopefully correctly.

Commit c55aef0e5bc6 "powerpc/boot: Change the load address for the wrapper
to fit the kernel" adjusted the laod address if the uncompressed kernel
was too large.  Ps3 does not compress the kernel and uses a different
linker script, so do not adjust the load address in that case.

fixes this build error:

powerpc64-linux-ld: section .text loaded at [0000000000e00000,0000000000e0721b] overlaps section .kernel:dtb loaded at [0000000000e00000,0000000000e0066f]
