Could you please make the commit log more clear? :-)

I guess the issue is introduced by commit 2213fb1 ("
powerpc/eeh: Skip eeh sysfs when eeh is disabled"). The
commit checks EEH is enabled while creating PCI device
EEH sysfs files. If not, the sysfs files won't be created.
That's to avoid warning reported during PCI hotplug.

The problem you're reporting (if I understand completely):
You don't see the sysfs files after the system boots up.
If it's the case, you probably need following changes in
arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/pci.c::pnv_pci_ioda_fixup().
Could you have a try with it?

#ifdef CONFIG_EEH
	eeh_probe_mode_set(EEH_PROBE_MODE_DEV);
-	eeh_addr_cache_build();
	eeh_init();
+	eeh_addr_cache_build();
#endif

Eventually PowerNV/pSeries have same function call sequence:

- Set EEH probe mode
- Doing probe (with device node or PCI device)
- Build address cache.
