Subject: powerpc/powerpnv: Properly handle failure starting CPUs
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4ea9008b75cdd6781207b73f4c01b6a877a0bb60;p=linux-beck.git

If OPAL returns an error, propagate it upward rather than spinning
seconds waiting for a CPU that will never show up
