In a situation, where Linux kernel gets notified about duplicate error log
from OPAL, it is been observed that kernel fails to remove sysfs entries
(/sys/firmware/opal/elog/0xXXXXXXXX) of such error logs. This is because,
we currently search the error log/dump kobject in the kset list via
'kset_find_obj()' routine. Which eventually increment the reference count
by one, once it founds the kobject.
So, unless we decrement the reference count by one after it found the kobject,
we would not be able to release the kobject properly later.
This patch adds the 'kobject_put()' which was missing earlier.

The conversion of opal events to a proper irqchip means that handlers
are called until the relevant opal event has been cleared by
processing it. Events that queue work should therefore use a threaded
handler to mask the event until processing is complete.

Otherwise firmware complains: "OPAL: Called with bad token 74 !"

Check that the OPAL_ELOG_READ token exists before initalising the elog
infrastructure.
This avoids littering the OPAL console with:
"OPAL: Called with bad token 74"

We can continue to read the error log (up to MAX size) even if
we get the elog size more than MAX size. Hence change BUG_ON to
WARN_ON.
Also updated error message.

Based on a patch by: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
This patch adds support to read error logs from OPAL and export
them to userspace through a sysfs interface.
We export each log entry as a directory in /sys/firmware/opal/elog/
Currently, OPAL will buffer up to 128 error log records, we don't
need to have any knowledge of this limit on the Linux side as that
is actually largely transparent to us.
Each error log entry has the following files: id, type, acknowledge, raw.
Currently we just export the raw binary error log in the 'raw' attribute.
In a future patch, we may parse more of the error log to make it a bit
easier for userspace (e.g. to be able to display a brief summary in
petitboot without having to have a full parser).
If we have >128 logs from OPAL, we'll only be notified of 128 until
userspace starts acknowledging them. This limitation may be lifted in
the future and with this patch, that should "just work" from the linux side.
A userspace daemon should:
- wait for error log entries using normal mechanisms (we announce creation)
- read error log entry
- save error log entry safely to disk
- acknowledge the error log entry
- rinse, repeat.
On the Linux side, we read the error log when we're notified of it. This
possibly isn't ideal as it would be better to only read them on-demand.
However, this doesn't really work with current OPAL interface, so we
read the error log immediately when notified at the moment.
I've tested this pretty extensively and am rather confident that the
linux side of things works rather well. There is currently an issue with
the service processor side of things for >128 error logs though.
