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
+	 ($fwdevice)/path, because we will then end up trying to boot or search
+	 based on a prefix of (ieee1275/disk)/path, which will not work because
+	 it's missing a partition.
+
+	 Also:
+	  - You can end up with a device with an FS directly on it, without
+	    a partition, e.g. ieee1275/cdrom.
+
+	  - powerpc-ieee1275 + grub-install sets e.g. prefix=(,gpt2)/path,
+	    which will have now been extended to device=$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.)
