not a suggestion to change anything, just an observation:

based on this in skiboot:
```
void __opal_register(uint64_t token, void *func, unsigned int nargs)
{
assert(token <= OPAL_LAST);
...

static int64_t opal_check_token(uint64_t token)
{
if (token > OPAL_LAST)
return OPAL_TOKEN_ABSENT;
```

along with other usages of OPAL_LAST in skiboot, OPAL_LAST is being
treated as a valid token.

there are no handlers for OPAL_LAST and kernel doesn't do
opal_check_token for this

I feel the logic should better be fixed in opal to not consider
OPAL_LAST

As per my current understanding, I assume OPAL_LAST is meant to be the
length of all valid opal tokens, Not a valid call itself.

I agree, hence the current implementation looks good to me.

Thanks,
