This is bogus. You can't have a node with powerbus addresses under
the XSCOM node. Devices below the XSCOM nodes have "reg" properties
that contain XSCOM addresses.

"reg" properties aren't made of arbitrary stuff. They have a well
defined format based on the parent device.

I also object of creating them from init_one_chip(). We shouldn't
be creating devices there.

Instead, look at how we do for other devices that exist both on the
XSCOM bus and the powerbus. We create a device under xscom whose
reg property is the XSCOM base address of the device. This gets done
in the HDAT parsing code.

Then the skiboot code detects those, attaches to them, and in turn
create the powerbus device (mmio) at the *root* of the device-tree
since that represents the powerbus.
