At the same time, I'm also trying to deduplicate the FDT and OFW code, since they are implementing many of the same interfaces and specifications. As part of that, I've adapted the MPC85XX PCI driver to use the generic ofw_pci code, which gives a quite substantial reduction in the driver and also substantially improves its robustness to variations on the device tree setup:

I've gone ahead and committed this patch, but have my finger squarely on 
the revert button in case there is any fallout in more complex 
situations than I was able to test. Please tell me if so as soon as 
possible.
