From 74943dab6b155b1a9d4037b7f01a396f28f9c44a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hari Bathini Date: Mon, 11 May 2015 13:53:43 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/nvram: print no error when pstore backend is not nvram Pstore only supports one backend at a time. The preferred pstore backend is set by passing the pstore.backend= argument to the kernel at boot time. Currently, while trying to register with pstore, nvram throws an error message even when "pstore.backend != nvram", which is unnecessary. This patch removes the error message in case "pstore.backend != nvram".
