Well, since this is long dead hardware not produced anymore, i don't see
how the OF could have unbroken itself by moving to powerpc.

It has been age since i looked into this, but to the best of my knowledge
(and i wrote the above code or at least the earlier versions) it should
be still broken.

Any idea then, how the workaround can be ported to arch/powerpc/ or if
there is a better one available?

Sorry, it has been years since i looked these parts of the linux kernel, so i don't really
know how the arch/powerpc code handles this differently. Your best guess is to hunt for the
code yourself, and find the place. I don't remember though if debugging at that time is 
easily possible though.
