This code is really really really broken.  So much so that it's almost
impossible to fix with a simple patch, so just comment out the offending
registration with the kobject core, and mark the driver as broken.

The problem is that the code is trying to register a "raw" struct
device, which is not allowed.  struct device is only for use within the
driver model.  This is being done to try to use the firmware layer which
wants a struct device.  To properly fix this, use something easy, like a
platform device, which is a struct device and can be used for this kind
of thing.

rpadlpar pci hotplug driver was doing some pretty bad stuff with the
sysfs files.  This cleans up the logic to be sane and gets rid of the
gratuitous kset that is not needed for a simple directory like this.

Note, this patch is not even build tested, let alone run-time tested.

appreciated.

There is no firmware "subsystem" it's just a directory in /sys that
