So I haven't gotten the powerpc or microblaze pull requests yet, so
I'm not able to fix that part up yet.

Intead, I'm cc'ing Michael Ellerman and Michal Simek to ask them to
remind me when they _do_ send those pull requests, since otherwise I
may well forget and miss it. Without an actual data conflict, and
since this won't show up in my build tests either, it would be very
easy for me to forget.

Micha[e]l, can you both please make sure to remind me?
