Sorry, Brian. It has been fixed as part of the following commit, which
has been put into Ben's powerpc-next branch :-)

commit 93aef2a789778e7ec787179fc9b34ca4885a5ef3

    161  static void ioda_eeh_phb_diag(struct pci_controller *hose)
    162  {
    163         struct pnv_phb *phb = hose->private_data;
    164 -       struct OpalIoPhbErrorCommon *common;
    165         long rc;
    166  
    167 -       common = (struct OpalIoPhbErrorCommon *)phb->diag.blob;
    168 -       rc = opal_pci_get_phb_diag_data2(phb->opal_id, common, PAGE_SIZE);
    169 +       rc = opal_pci_get_phb_diag_data2(phb->opal_id, phb->diag.blob,
    170 +                                        PNV_PCI_DIAG_BUF_SIZE);
