[PATCH v2 7/8] bus: brcmstb_gisb: add notifier handling

From: Doug Berger
Date: Tue Mar 28 2017 - 17:36:21 EST


Check for GISB arbitration errors through a chained notifier
when a process dies or a kernel panic occurs. This allows a
meaningful diagnostic message to occur along with other
diagnostic information.

Notably writes to a bad GISB address on an ARM64 architecture
kernel cause unrecoverable SError aborts and this allows the
cause of the abort to be seen.
