[PATCH 3.18 19/52] powerpc/powernv: Handle unknown OPAL errors in opal_nvram_write()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 741de617661794246f84a21a02fc5e327bffc9ad upstream.

opal_nvram_write currently just assumes success if it encounters an
error other than OPAL_BUSY or OPAL_BUSY_EVENT. Have it return -EIO
on other errors instead.

Fixes: 628daa8d5abf ("powerpc/powernv: Add RTC and NVRAM support plus RTAS fallbacks")
