Currently, when a sensor value is read, the kernel calls OPAL, which in turn builds a message for the FSP, and waits for a message back.
The new device tree for OPAL sensors [1] adds new sensors that can be read synchronously (core temperatures for instance) and that don't need to wait for a response. This patch modifies the opal call to accept an OPAL_SUCCESS return value and cover the case above.
