Subject: powerpc/nvram: Don't overwrite oops/panic report on normal shutdown
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=15d260b36facc1aa769fb39b0efc41f4c8c44729;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

powerpc/nvram: Don't overwrite oops/panic report on normal shutdown

For normal halt, reboot, and poweroff events, refrain from overwriting
the lnx,oops-log partition.  Also, don't save the dmesg buffer on an
emergency-restart event if we've already saved it earlier in panic().
