*	powerpc/boot: Fix the early OPAL console wrappers	Oliver O'Halloran	2016-11-24	1	-0/+13
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	When configured with CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_OPAL=y the kernel expects the OPAL entry and base addresses to be passed in r8 and r9 respectively. Currently the wrapper does not attempt to restore these values before entering the decompressed kernel which causes the kernel to branch into whatever happens to be in r9 when doing a write to the OPAL console in early boot. This patch adds a platform_ops hook that can be used to branch into the new kernel. The OPAL console driver patches this at runtime so that if the console is used it will be restored just prior to entering the kernel.

*	powerpc/boot: Add OPAL console to epapr wrappers	Oliver O'Halloran	2016-07-05	1	-0/+58
	This patch adds an OPAL console backend to the powerpc boot wrapper so that decompression failures inside the wrapper can be reported to the user. This is important since it typically indicates data corruption in the firmware and other nasty things. Currently this only works when building a little endian kernel. When compiling a 64 bit BE kernel the wrapper is always build 32 bit to be compatible with some 32 bit firmwares. BE support will be added at a later date. Another limitation of this is that only the "raw" type of OPAL console is supported, however machines that provide a hvsi console also provide a raw console so this is not an issue in practice.
