    powerpc/powernv: Add ppc_pci_reset_phbs parameter to issue a PHB reset · 45baee14
    Guilherme G. Piccoli authored
    During a kdump kernel boot in PowerPC, we request a reset of the PHBs
    to the FW. It makes sense, since if we are booting a kdump kernel it
    means we had some trouble before and we cannot rely in the adapters'
    health; they could be in a bad state, hence the reset is needed.
    
    But this reset is useful not only in kdump - there are situations,
    specially when debugging drivers, that we could break an adapter in
    a way it requires such reset. One can tell to just go ahead and
    reboot the machine, but happens that many times doing kexec is much
    faster, and so preferable than a full power cycle.
    
    This patch adds the ppc_pci_reset_phbs parameter to perform such reset.
