Agreed. I'm fine with removing pcibios_scan_all_fns() for now anyway,
and leave whatever arch do care with the responsibility of finding a
solution though :-)

Regarding the OF stuff, I'll see what I can do vs. moving it to
drivers/pci some time next week after I'm done fixing the regressions
from this merge window :-)

Cheers,
Ben.
