Why _needs_? Apple never used anything else than PowerPC,G5, no matter
what generation chip.

Josh is just using the precedence that the other platform gives, the
driver is keying off of device_type. While that should be fixed, that's
a separate issue. I'm sure they'd welcome a driver patch from you.
(Does anyone know if there's an actual firmware out there with the
tsi-bridge device_type set, and thus just changing DTS's won't help? We'd
still need to be able to boot/probe the device on those firmwares.)

Filled in by bootloader/wrapper? Other dts'es are similar. Could be nice
to have a comment next to it if that's the case.
