So when we select CONFIG_PPC_PSERIES, we end up selecting
CONFIG_PPC_RTAS. What is the expected behaviour there for powernv ? Can
we use RTAS call from powernv code if rtas node is present in device
tree ? Or do we want to make sure powernv always use OPAL call ?
For example, right now we will use rtas_node get-term-char and
put-term-char even with this patch applied.
