We ended up submitting different patch to upstream. I think we can drop
Jeremy's patch and pull upstream one.

Bug description:
  lshw package update for ppc64le in Ubuntu 17.04

  lshw (Hardware Lister) is a small tool to provide detailed information
  on the hardware configuration of the machine. It can report exact
  memory configuration, firmware version, mainboard configuration, CPU
  version and speed, cache configuration, bus speed, etc. on DMI-capable
  x86 or EFI (IA-64) systems and on some PowerPC machines

  This FEAT is mostly to push any Power specific issues and validation
  purpose.
