Sure. Here is the updated patch.

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] vas: Disable VAS/NX-842 on some P9 revisions

VAS/NX-842 are not functional on some P9 revisions, so disable them
in hardware and skip creating their device tree nodes.

Since the intent is to prevent OS from configuring VAS/NX, we remove
only the platform device nodes but leave the VAS/NX DT nodes under
xscom (i.e we don't skip add_vas_node() in hdata/spira.c)

Thanks to input from Michael Ellerman, Michael Neuling.

Changelog[v2]
	- [Michael Neuling]: Use "_enabled" in the interface name.
	- [Michael Ellerman, Sukadev]. Update function header comments.
