Back from vacation! :-)

I originally didn't add any test vector for NX 842 because the main
driver was loading before the "platform" (pseries/powernv) drivers,
and the test couldn't run as the platform driver hadn't loaded yet.
That's now fixed so we should be able to add a real test for NX 842
now, I can work on that patch.
