The "pci-OF-bus-map" property was declared deprecated in 2006 [1] and to
the best of everyone's knowledge is not used by anything anymore [2].
The creation of the property was disabled on powermac (arch/powerpc) in
2005 by commit 35499c0195 ("powerpc: Merge in 64-bit powermac
support."). But it is still created by default on CHRP.
On powermac the actual map (pci_to_OF_bus_map) is still used by default,
even though the device tree property is not created.
Add an option to enable/disable use of the pci_to_OF_bus_map, and
creation of the property (on CHRP).
Disabling the option allows enabling CONFIG_PPC_PCI_BUS_NUM_DOMAIN_DEPENDENT
which allows "normal" bus numbering and more than 256 buses, like 64-bit
and other architectures.
Mark the new option as default n, the intention is that the option and
the code will be removed in a future release.

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.
