SubjectRe: [PATCH] PPC64: (resend) Janitor signature of rtas_call() routine

I beat you to the punch on this one, I'm afraid. :) I changed
rtas_call to return an int in the prom cleanup patch I sent to Andrew
last week. You did spot a few places that I missed though, so I'll
send Andrew a patch to fix those up shortly.

Regards,
Paul.
