Subject: [POWERPC] Fix panic in RTAS code
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a0c7ce9c877ceef8428798ac91fb794f83609aed;p=linux-beck.git

[POWERPC] Fix panic in RTAS code

Some older pSeries machines were panicking in pSeries_log_error
because it was getting called before it was ready.  This is a result
of commit "[POWERPC] pseries: Fix jumbled no_logging flag."
(79c0108d1b9db4864ab77b2a95dfa04f2dcf264c).

This fixes it by explicitly enabling RTAS error logging when it has
been initialized, and also makes the code clearer by renaming the
"no_more_logging" variable to "logging_enabled".
