Er, I see.. Let me think about it, you convinced me to change it from
PLATFORM, so maybe we should go back to that if it is all wonky.

Sounds like it just never worked right.

ie going to VFIO mode was always a one way trip and you can't go back
to a kernel driver.

I don't think this patch makes it worse because we call the identity
attach_dev in all the same places we called detach_dev in the first
place.

We add an extra call at the start of time, but that call is NOP'd
by this:

(bah, and the variable name needs updating too)

Honestly, I don't really want to fix FSL since it seems abandoned, so
either this patch or going back to PLATFORM seems like the best option.
