Subject: powerpc/rfi-flush: Move the logic to avoid a redo into the debugfs code
To: g...@kroah.com
Cc: sta...@vger.kernel.org, t...@linutronix.de, linuxppc-...@ozlabs.org
Message-ID: <20180526042749.5324-5-...@ellerman.id.au>
From: Michael Ellerman <m...@ellerman.id.au>
commit 1e2a9fc7496955faacbbed49461d611b704a7505 upstream.
rfi_flush_enable() includes a check to see if we're already
enabled (or disabled), and in that case does nothing.
But that means calling setup_rfi_flush() a 2nd time doesn't actually
work, which is a bit confusing.
Move that check into the debugfs code, where it really belongs.
