Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Don't try OPAL takeover on old 970 blades
Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2011 16:51:46 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1317279106.29415.179.camel@pasglop> (raw)

The firmware on old 970 blades supports some kind of takeover called
"TNK takeover" which will crash if we try to probe for OPAL takeover,
so don't do it.
