This patch does not fix the problem, during boot the kernel still
panics. I had a closer look at the commit and the following patch
fixes it for me....

diff --git a/arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_pci.c b/arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_pci.c
index 028ac1f..21b687f 100644
--- a/arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_pci.c
+++ b/arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_pci.c
@@ -814,7 +814,7 @@ int __init mpc83xx_add_bridge(struct device_node *dev)
if (ret)
goto err0;
} else {
- fsl_setup_indirect_pci(hose, rsrc_cfg.start,
+ setup_indirect_pci(hose, rsrc_cfg.start,
rsrc_cfg.start + 4, 0);
}

Apparently the mpc83xx platform code goes through great lengths to
guard the call to fsl_pcie_check_link on NON PCIe platforms, since
apparently this seems to cause the panic. Furthermore it also has its
own PCIe setup code. With this patch applied the system boots fine for
me.
The only problem I have with this patch is that the compiler fails
since -Werror is used and fsl_setup_indirect_pci now is never used.
For testing purposes I removed the function definition. Obviously the
proper fix would be to wrap it in an #ifdef but I did not know the
proper define to check against.

Kind regards,
Mike
