Subject: [PATCH 04/15] powerpc/powernv: opal-kmsg use flush fallback from console code
Date: Tue,  1 May 2018 00:55:47 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180430145558.4308-5-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180430145558.4308-1-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.
