3.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mah...@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
commit 6acbc5a1dab30aa8f7be7bf3852f343f89147ac5 upstream.
The current HMI event structure is an ABI and carries a version field to
accommodate future changes without affecting/rearranging current structure
members that are valid for previous versions.
The current version check "if (hmi_evt->version != OpalHMIEvt_V1)"
doesn't accomodate the fact that the version number may change in
future.
If firmware starts returning an HMI event with version > 1, this check
will fail and no HMI information will be printed on older kernels.
This patch fixes this issue.
