With OPALv3, the firmware can provide the address of it's internal console
to Linux, which we can then display using debugfs. This is handy for
diagnostics and debugging.

It might be nice to point out that the format of the struct is defined
by OPAL and must be in sync with what OPAL is using.

u64 ?

Where does this come from?

Should it be packed?

Surely simple_read_from_buffer() could make some of this simpler?

Yes, we could move the structure definition to opal.h...

Who cares ? Especially if it goes into opal.h it should stick to the
types used in that file.

My a** :-) I made it up as I wrote the OPAL side one, why ?

Nope, no need. It's all nice and naturally aligned.

If you can find a way to make it deal with a ring buffer...

Cheers,

That's what we use in the kernel. But no I don't care.

Sure, that's obvious.

Call it twice.

And you wonder why no one reviews your patches?

Not that easy :-) I had a look at using it and unless I did something
stupid, it wasn't actually that trivial to figure out what arg to pass
it for calling it twice, ie, it didn't simplify the code
significantly ... I had another problem too but I don't remember what
it was. But it could be that I had a very dumb moment...

Cheers,
Ben.
