I guess it falls under LINUX FOR POWERPC EMBEDDED PPC83XX AND PPC85XX,
but that's basically orphaned these days. Basically all the FSL/NXP
powerpc code is orphaned, although there are still some users.

And things are somewhat complicated because some of the drivers are also
used on their ARM SOCs, so those still get maintained from the ARM side.

But looks like this driver is powerpc only.

Turns out I do have a machine that will probe this driver. AFAICS this
series doesn't regress it, but that's just booting. I don't have it
setup to test KVM/VFIO etc.

I do see some changes in dmesg, eg:

-fsl-pci ffe270000.pcie: Removing from iommu group 61
-pci 0003:00:00.0: Adding to iommu group 60
+pci 0003:00:00.0: Adding to iommu group 64

And lots more like that.

Anything else I can check easily?
