[PATCH 2/2] powerpc/mobility: disabling hard lockup watchdog during LPM
From: Laurent Dufour
Date: Wed Jun 01 2022 - 11:53:46 EST
Disabling the Hard Lockup Watchdog until the memory transfer is complete.
This avoids hard lockup seen while the memory is still in progress when the
system is heavily loaded and a lot of pages are still not transferred on
the arrival side.
