[PATCH 3.16 133/366] powerpc/powernv: Fix OPAL NVRAM driver OPAL_BUSY loops

[Ben Hutchings]

3.16.60-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 3b8070335f751aac9f1526ae2e012e6f5b8b0f21 upstream.

The OPAL NVRAM driver does not sleep in case it gets OPAL_BUSY or
OPAL_BUSY_EVENT from firmware, which causes large scheduling
latencies, and various lockup errors to trigger (again, BMC reboot
can cause it).

Fix this by converting it to the standard form OPAL_BUSY loop that
sleeps.

Fixes: 628daa8d5abf ("powerpc/powernv: Add RTC and NVRAM support plus RTAS fallbacks")
Depends-on: 34dd25de9fe3 ("powerpc/powernv: define a standard delay for OPAL_BUSY type retry loops")
