Subject: [PATCH 1/6] powerpc/powernv: opal-kmsg use flush fallback from console code
Date: Mon, 9 Apr 2018 15:40:51 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180409054056.27292-2-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180409054056.27292-1-npiggin@gmail.com>
Use the more refined and tested event polling loop from opal_put_chars
as the fallback console flush in the opal-kmsg path. This loop is used
by the console driver today, whereas the opal-kmsg fallback is not
likely to have been used for years.
Use WARN_ONCE rather than a printk when the fallback is invoked to
prepare for moving the console flush into a common function.
