The reality is that '/ibm,platform-facilities' and 'cache' nodes are the only

workaround to deal with what I consider a bad firmware approach I think this is
probably the best approach barring getting firmware to move to an update
properties approach.

I do agree, this is probably the best option until the firmware is moving to an 
update notification.

Just to be clear, my proposal is to carry this hack until *Linux* can
be changed to better support the current firmware behavior. There's
little point in trying to get firmware to change now.
