opal_put_chars deals with partial writes because in OPALv1, opal_console_write_buffer_space did not work correctly. That firmware is not supported. This reworks the opal_put_chars code to no longer deal with partial writes by turning them into full writes. Partial write handling is still supported in terms of what gets returned to the caller, but it may not go to the console atomically. A warning message is printed in this case. This allows console flushing to be moved out of the opal_write_lock spinlock. That could cause the lock to be held for long periods if the console is busy (especially if it was being spammed by firmware), which is dangerous because the lock is taken by xmon to debug the system. Flushing outside the lock improves the situation a bit.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
