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. [1] https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/skiboot/2015-March/000639.html Signed-off-by: Cédric Le Goater <c...@fr.ibm.com> --- We still uselessly reserve a token (for the response) and take a lock, which might raise the need of a new 'opal_sensor_read_sync' call.
