Revert "powerpc/eeh: Fix crash in eeh_add_device_early() on Cell"
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1599250 This reverts commit 89a51df5. The function eeh_add_device_early() is used to perform EEH initialization in devices added later on the system, like in hotplug/DLPAR scenarios. Since the commit 89a51df5 ("powerpc/eeh: Fix crash in eeh_add_device_early() on Cell") a new check was introduced in this function - Cell has no EEH capabilities which led to kernel oops if hotplug was performed, so checking for eeh_enabled() was introduced to avoid the issue. However, in architectures that EEH is present like pSeries or PowerNV, we might reach a case in which no PCI devices are present on boot time and so EEH is not initialized. Then, if a device is added via DLPAR for example, eeh_add_device_early() fails because eeh_enabled() is false, and EEH end up not being enabled at all. This reverts the aforementioned patch since a new verification was introduced by the commit d91dafc0 ("powerpc/eeh: Delay probing EEH device during hotplug") and so the original Cell issue does not happen anymore.
