This is the only dependency indeed.

That's quite a lot of patches to workaround a hard to hit skiboot bug.
As an alternative, the patch can be backported so that it applies the
following change:

-OPAL_CALL(opal_xive_allocate_irq,              OPAL_XIVE_ALLOCATE_IRQ);
+OPAL_CALL(opal_xive_allocate_irq_raw,          OPAL_XIVE_ALLOCATE_IRQ);

to "arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/opal-wrappers.S"
instead of "arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/opal-call.c" .

BTW, this could also be done for 4.19.y .

But it's a large and intrusive change, so we don't want to backport it
just for this.

We should do a manual backport for v4.14 and v4.19. Greg do you have
cycles to do that?

cheers

Me?  No, sorry.  If you want this fix there, I need someone to send the
backport.
