2006-09-26[POWERPC] fix spin lock nesting in hvc_iseriesStephen Rothwell
We had nested spinlocks using the same flags variable, but it turns out that we don't need the nested locks at all (the lock protects a static buffer that we aren't using here), so just remove the extra locks. Spotted by Alexey Dobriyan. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-09-25[POWERPC] The two vio HVC backends clashStephen Rothwell
Make sure only one of them actually registers as a driver. Also, remove cast from get_property(). Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>
2006-07-13[POWERPC] Make the hvc_console output buffer size settableStephen Rothwell
So the iSeries console will be faster since it can send up to 200 bytes at a time to the Hypervisor. This only affects the tty part of the console, the console writes are still in 16 byte lots. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>
2006-07-13[POWERPC] iseries: A new iSeries consoleStephen Rothwell
This driver uses the hvc_console.c infrastructure that is used by the pSeries virtual and RTAS consoles. This will allow us to make viocons.c obsolete and is another step along the way to a combined kernel (as viocons could not coexist with CONFIG_VT).
