From 45d607ed92695d7543f5e1fc5b133cd69834e3e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Ryan S. Arnold" Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2006 21:25:16 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: hvc_console updates These are some updates from both Ryan and Arnd for the hvc_console driver: The main point is to enable the inclusion of a console driver for rtas, which is currrently needed for the cell platform. Also shuffle around some data-type declarations and moves some functions out of include/asm-ppc64/hvconsole.h and into a new drivers/char/hvc_console.h file. Signed-off-by: "Ryan S.
