Hm, BTW, how do you use it? I saw there are no external functions defined.
Via the global rtas0_softc pointer?

It attaches to the ofw-bus (ofbus). Maybe it should better attach to
mainbus?

What I'm asking myself for a long time: do we need the ofw-bus at all,
when it is our goal to run the ofppc-port with real NetBSD drivers rather than
using the OFW-devices?
