Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: adjust setting of prefix for signed binary case
On RHEL-signed powerpc grub, we sign a grub with -p /grub2 and expect
that there's a boot partition.
Unfortunately grub_set_prefix_and_root tries to convert this to
($fwdevice)/grub2. This ends up being (ieee1275/disk)/grub2 and that
falls apart pretty quickly - there's no file-system on ieee1275/disk,
and it makes the search routine try things like
(ieee1275/disk,msdos2)(ieee1275/disk)/grub2 which also doesn't work.
Detect if we would be about to create (ieee1275/disk)/path and don't:
preserve a prefix of /path instead and hope the search later finds us.

+
+ We will have had !device earlier, so we will have set device=fwdevice
+ However, we want to make sure we do not end up setting prefix to be

+ based on a prefix of (ieee1275/disk)/path, which will not work because
+ it's missing a partition.
+
+ Also:
+ - You can end up with a device with an FS directly on it, without
+ a partition, e.g. ieee1275/cdrom.
+
+ - powerpc-ieee1275 + grub-install sets e.g. prefix=(,gpt2)/path,
+ which will have now been extended to device=$fwdisk,partition
+ and path=/path
+
+ - PowerVM will give us device names like
+ ieee1275//vdevice/v-scsi@3000006c/disk@8100000000000000
+ and we don't want to try to encode some sort of truth table about
+ what sorts of paths represent disks with partition tables and those
+ without partition tables.
+
+ So we act unless there is a comma in the device, which would indicate
+ a partition has already been specified.
+
+ (If we only have a path, the code in normal to discover config files
+ will try both without partitions and then with any partitions so we
+ will cover both CDs and HDs.)
