I'm wondering now if we even need this.  It is mainly used by your
later patch 8/9 that modifies ps3flash_init() to test if we should
call ps3_system_bus_driver_register().  If we don't use
ps3_get_ss_laid() and just allow ps3_system_bus_driver_register()
to be called, would the device probe fail and have the same result
as the test?

I would prefer to not have ps3_get_ss_laid() if possible.
