The code looks correct, but since this is going to be example code
that may get copied into other platforms, I would take extra care
for coding style:

#include lines should be ordered alphabetically in an ideal world.

You don't need the NULL termination here, since the array is only
used statically and you can use ARRAY_SIZE().

This looks like a for() loop in disguise, so you can better write
it as

	int i;
	for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(board); i++) {
		if (of_flat_dt_is_compatible(root, board[i])) {
			ppc_pci_flags = PPC_PCI_REASSIGN_ALL_RSRC;
			return 1;
		}
	}
	return 0;
