That confused me a lot. But the key is the distinction between appraisal
rules vs measurement rules, right?

I think it would be clearer if it was phrased as a positive statement, eg:

  On PowerNV systems when trusted boot is enabled, additional IMA rules
  are enabled to implement measurement.

Or something like that.

It would probably help people to briefly explain the difference between
secure vs trusted boot.

That has an extra "_os" in it.

You shouldn't need to do that by hand, instead use
of_find_matching_node(), eg:

static struct device_node *get_powerpc_fw_sb_node(void)
{
	static const struct of_device_id ids[] = {
		{ .compatible = "ibm,secureboot-v1", },
		{ .compatible = "ibm,secureboot-v2", },
		{},
	};

	return of_find_matching_node(NULL, ids);
}

Again this can use of_property_read_bool(), which copes with a NULL node
also, so just:

+	if (of_property_read_bool(node, "trusted-enabled"))) {
