Michael, It's going to ignore the issue addressed by commit 63a72284b159
("powerpc/pci: Assign fixed PHB number based on device-tree properties").
The commit tried to get the PCI domain number from "reg" on pSeries. We
still need check "reg" and try to get PCI domain number from it on pSeries
only:

	if (ret && machine_is(pseries))
		ret = of_property_read_u32_index(dn, "reg", 1, (u32 *)&prop);

Thanks,
Gavin
