Subject: [PATCH 09/15] tty: hvc: remove unexplained "just in case" spin delay
Date: Tue,  1 May 2018 00:55:52 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180430145558.4308-10-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180430145558.4308-1-npiggin@gmail.com>

This delay was in the very first OPAL console commit 6.5 years ago,
and came from the vio hvc driver. The firmware console has hardened
sufficiently to remove it.
