powerpc/powernv: Update firmware archaeology around OPAL_HANDLE_HMI

Browse Source 
The first machines to ship with OPAL firmware all got firmware updates
that have the new call, but just in case someone is foolish enough to
believe the first 4 months of firmware is the best, we keep this code
around.

Comment is updated to not refer to late 2014 as recent or the future.
