This looks sane to me, so:

Reviewed-by: Douglas Anderson <dianders@...omium.org>

That being said, I don't know these functions and can't say with any
authority that this is the "right" place to put the
onboard_hub_create_pdevs() and onboard_hub_destroy_pdevs(). I'm
assuming that Alan, Greg, or someone else on this CC list will
scrutinize that more closely and make sure where Matthias picked is
OK.
