    powerpc/pseries: Revert support for ibm,drc-info devtree property · c7a3275e

    This reverts commit 02ef6dd8.
    
    The earlier patch tried to enable support for a new property
    "ibm,drc-info" on powerpc systems.
    
    Unfortunately, some errors in the associated patch set break things
    in some of the DLPAR operations.  In particular when attempting to
    hot-add a new CPU or set of CPUs, the original patch failed to
    properly calculate the available resources, and aborted the operation.
    In addition, the original set missed several opportunities to compress
    and reuse common code.
    
    As the associated patch set was meant to provide an optimization of
    storage and performance of a set of device-tree properties for future
    systems with large amounts of resources, reverting just restores
    the previous behavior for existing systems.  It seems unnecessary
    to enable this feature and introduce the consequent problems in the
    field that it will cause at this time, so please revert it for now
    until testing of the corrections are finished properly.
