[PATCH 3.16 330/366] powerpc/powernv: Fix NVRAM sleep in invalid context when crashing

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sun Oct 14 2018 - 11:54:42 EST


3.16.60-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxxxx>

commit c1d2a31397ec51f0370f6bd17b19b39152c263cb upstream.

Similarly to opal_event_shutdown, opal_nvram_write can be called in
the crash path with irqs disabled. Special case the delay to avoid
sleeping in invalid context.

Fixes: 3b8070335f75 ("powerpc/powernv: Fix OPAL NVRAM driver OPAL_BUSY loops")
