My only comment would be maybe mentioning that this issue was discovered with a
KVM guest which would be using some version of SLOF firmware as opposed to
PowerVM's proprietary Open Firmware. Older Open Firmware using ibm,drc-indexes
would present the same issue, but is probably less likely to be encountered in
the wild as we got drc-info support showing up in the kernel as far back as 2017
which aligns with Power 7 that has since hit EOL.

Otherwise...
