[POWERPC] Efika: prune fixups and make them more carefull
Prune back Efika fixups to only include changes that are actually required to get a working system. Most of the drivers can accept the compatible properties, even if they don't match the what is recommented in the generic names recommended practice document. This patch also adds extra checks so that fixups are not performed blindly. Instead, the code first verifies that the device tree is faulty before making any changes. This way, if the Efika firmware is updated to fix these issues, then the fixups will no longer get applied. At this point; here is the list of fixups needed for the efika: 1. If the device_type property on the root node is 'chrp', then Linux won't boot. Change device_type to 'efika' to avoid this condition 2. Add full interrupt list to the bestcomm node. In actual fact, the bestcomm interrupts property is technically correct, it just doesn't expose the same granularity as the device driver expects. All other 5200 device trees provide a separate irq number for each bestcomm channel. Rather than hack the driver, it's simpler to fix it up 3. /builtin/sound node is missing an interrupts property 4. /builtin/ethernet node is missing a phy-handle property and the device driver doesn't know what to do without one.
