Subject: [PATCH 56/84] powerpc/eeh: Don't check RTAS token to get PE addr

3.8.13.3 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Gavin Shan <shangw@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit b8b3de224f194005ad87ede6fd022fcc2bef3b1a upstream.

RTAS token "ibm,get-config-addr-info" or ibm,get-config-addr-info2"
are used to retrieve the PE address according to PCI address, which
made up of domain/bus/slot/function. If we don't have those 2 tokens,
the domain/bus/slot/function would be used as the address for EEH
RTAS operations. Some older f/w might not have those 2 tokens and
that blocks the EEH functionality to be initialized. It was introduced
by commit e2af155c ("powerpc/eeh: pseries platform EEH initialization").

The patch skips the check on those 2 tokens so we can bring up EEH
functionality successfully. And domain/bus/slot/function will be
used as address for EEH RTAS operations.
