The vio bus is a fake bus, which we use on pseries LPARs (guests) to discover devices provided by the hypervisor. There's no need or sense in creating the vio bus on bare metal systems. Which is why commit4336b93378("powerpc/pseries: Make vio and ibmebus initcalls pseries specific") made the initialisation of the vio bus only happen in LPARs. However as a result of that commit we now see errors at boot on bare metal systems: Driver 'hvc_console' was unable to register with bus_type 'vio' because the bus was not initialized. Driver 'tpm_ibmvtpm' was unable to register with bus_type 'vio' because the bus was not initialized. This happens because those drivers are built-in, and are calling vio_register_driver(). It in turn calls driver_register() with a reference to vio_bus_type, but we haven't registered vio_bus_type with the driver core. Fix it by also guarding vio_register_driver() with a check to see if we are on pseries.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
