Subject: [RFC PATCH 4/8] ppc/spapr: add VTY backend support to OF read/write/open services
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 15:57:21 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260817102733.605346-5-uverma@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260817102733.605346-1-uverma@linux.ibm.com>

From: Utkarsh Verma <uverma@linux.ibm.com>

Extend the VOF client interface to support console I/O through the sPAPR VTY
device, which is needed by bootloaders such as GRUB during disk boot.

Add vof_read() to implement the OpenFirmware "read" client service, which was
previously missing.

Route the OF read and write services backed by vty_getchars() and vty_putchars()

Make vty_getchars() public similar to vty_putchars().
