Re: [PATCH 2.6.23] ibmebus: Prevent bus_id collisions

The plaintiff makes a valid point. How about a staging approach: We put 
the patch as it is now into 2.6.23 so the problem is fixed, and I'll post 
a "nice" version with autoloading support and a generic of_make_bus_id 
function for 2.6.24. Agree?

Regards,
