Thanks Amitay, fixing this has been on the list for a while. A couple of
comments below though.

What is preventing a buffer overrun here? I suspect there is one here because
with this patch applied I hit a segfault running the following command:

pdbg -p0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 getscom 0xf000f

Obviously this is a little contrived but it's important we deal gracefully with
frustrated users who really really want this to run only on p0 :-)

In general I feel this function could do with a few more brief comments to aid
understanding. For example at first glance it may not be immediately obvious to
everyone what the above is doing (removing duplicates from a list).

There also seems to be a few corner cases when I tested with the following fake
device-tree which adds a couple of extra pib nodes:

/dts-v1/;

/ {
	#address-cells = <0x1>;
	#size-cells = <0x0>;

	fsi at 0 {
		#address-cells = <0x2>;
		#size-cells = <0x1>;
		compatible = "ibm,fake-fsi";
		reg = <0x0 0x0 0x0>;
		index = <0x0>;
		status = "mustexist";

		pib at 0 {
			compatible = "ibm,fake-pib";
			reg = <0x0 0x0 0x0>;
			index = <0x0>;
		};

		pib at 1 {
			compatible = "ibm,fake-pib";
			reg = <0x0 0x1 0x0>;
			index = <0x1>;
		};

		pib at 2 {
			compatible = "ibm,fake-pib";
			reg = <0x0 0x1 0x0>;
			index = <0x2>;
		};
	};
};

For example this works as expected:

$ ./pdbg -p0 getscom 0xf000f
fake_pib_read(0x000f000f, 0xdeadbeef)
p0:0xf000f = 0x00000000deadbeef

But this doesn't (it appears to return the result for p0 instead of p1):

$ ./pdbg -p1 getscom 0xf000f
fake_pib_read(0x000f000f, 0xdeadbeef)
p0:0xf000f = 0x00000000deadbeef

Even though this works:

$ ./pdbg -p0-1 getscom 0xf000f
fake_pib_read(0x000f000f, 0xdeadbeef)
p0:0xf000f = 0x00000000deadbeef
fake_pib_read(0x000f000f, 0xdeadbeef)
p1:0xf000f = 0x00000000deadbeef

But this doesn't:

$ ./pdbg -p1-2 getscom 0xf000f
fake_pib_read(0x000f000f, 0xdeadbeef)
p0:0xf000f = 0x00000000deadbeef
fake_pib_read(0x000f000f, 0xdeadbeef)
p1:0xf000f = 0x00000000deadbeef

So it would be nice if we could get the above cases fixed (and even better write
some tests! - although that is something that has been on my TODO list for
ages). However the concept is great and really improves a big usability issue so
keen to see it fixed up so we can merge it. When you do repost it please post it
as a seperate patch as I have already merged the rest of the patches in this
series. Thanks!
