This isn't the FSI device per-se actually. This is a node below the
"sbefifo" FSI device. The SBE fifo is the mechanism by which we
communicate with the OCC. The sbefifo doesn't really define a "bus",
it's mostly used from userspace directly via /dev/sbefifo* to perform
various tasks in the chip, but it happens to also provide the in-kernel 
transport for the OCC commands.

Cheers,
Ben.
