When find_and_init_phbs() looks for the probe-only property, it seems
to trust the firmware to be correctly written, and assumes that there
is a parameter to the property.

It is conceivable that the firmware could not be that perfect, and it
could expose this property naked (at least one arm64 platform seems to
exhibit this exact behaviour). The setup code the ends up making
a decision based on whatever the property pointer points to, which
is likely to be junk.

Instead, let's check for the validity of the property, and ignore
it if the firmware couldn't make up its mind.

This seems essentially identical to the pci-host-generic version.
Is there a way we can factor it out so there's only one copy?

Probably. drivers/of/of_pci.c seems like a good landing place for it.
I'll hack something and repost it.

Thanks,
