The driver creates a fake "ibmebus" device so all ibmebus based devices have a common parent device -- the vio bus does the same. What do you think about linking this device to the device tree "/" node? All ibmebus-based devices are linked to dt nodes residing directly beneath "/", so the mapping would fit.
