[PATCH 3.16 018/158] powerpc/cpufreq: Add pr_warn() on OPAL firmware failures

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Sep 15 2014 - 17:16:35 EST


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

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

From: Vaidyanathan Srinivasan <svaidy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 6174bac8c7ff73a86ae9a967d1c9cadc478023ae upstream.

Cpufreq depends on platform firmware to implement PStates. In case of
platform firmware failure, cpufreq should not panic host kernel with
BUG_ON(). Less severe pr_warn() will suffice.

Add firmware_has_feature(FW_FEATURE_OPALv3) check to
skip probing for device-tree on non-powernv platforms.
