Christian Krafft	4a065f9418	[POWERPC] pmi probe device by device-type ... At the moment the pmi device driver is probing for devices with a given type and a given name. As there may be devices of the same type but with a different name, probing should be done also for device type only.

Christian Krafft	79baf4a60e	[POWERPC] add check for initialized driver data to pmi driver ... This patch adds a check for the private driver data to be initialized. The bug showed up, as the caller found a pmi device by it's type. Whereas the pmi driver probes for the type and the name. Since the name was not as the driver expected, it did not initialize. A more relaxed probing will be supplied with an extra patch, too.

Christian Krafft	0e8266437c	[POWERPC] Add PMI driver for cell blade ... This adds driver code for the PMI device found in future IBM products. PMI stands for "Platform Management Interrupt" and is a way to communicate with the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller). It provides bidirectional communication with a low latency.
