Comment 8 for bug 1464560

Hi Chris,

The following commits should bring the PRD support into the current vivid branch, using only pristine upstream changes:

d800ba1 powerpc/powernv: Move OPAL API definitions to opal-api.h
d7cf83f powerpc/powernv: Move opal-api.h closer to the Skiboot version
ed59190 powerpc/powernv: Add interfaces for flash device access
1cbb4a1 mtd: powernv: Add powernv flash MTD abstraction driver
48c0615 powerpc/powernv: Merge common platform device initialisation
594fcb9 powerpc/powernv: Expose OPAL APIs required by PRD interface
646b54f powerpc/powernv: Remove powernv RTAS support
0d7cd85 powerpc/powernv: Add opal-prd channel
7185795 powerpc/powernv: fix construction of opal PRD messages
cdf2bc1 powerpc/include: Add opal-prd to installed uapi headers

(the last two are fixes that have hit mainline since the original merge)

However, we'll also need the changes in the actual merge commit to mainline:

commit df60f57684529a1dde4461cf84354453b440806a

- but I'm not sure how you'd prefer to apply this diff from a merge.
