OOI, I guess that if there were some visible control on the board (eg, a few controls via GPIO) then this would be less of an issue since there would be real hardware for the machine/fabric driver to control?
Probably not, because the GPIO node in the device tree would be owned by the GPIO driver. I don't think there's a way to have the fabric driver probed from the device tree. It could be probed manually from the arch/powerpc platform driver.
But wouldn't it now be legal to represent the machine driver as a device in its own right, even if it is connected via GPIOs?
