Subject: [PATCH 6/6] drivers/tty/hvc: remove unexplained "just in case" spin delay
Date: Mon,  9 Apr 2018 15:40:56 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180409054056.27292-7-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180409054056.27292-1-npiggin@gmail.com>

This delay was in the very first OPAL console commit 6.5 years ago.
The firmware console has hardened sufficiently to remove it.
