Subject: powerpc/pseries: Add backward compatibilty to read old kernel oops-log
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=156c9ebdaca20d9ce428dc189f2b24d2a0ec8eaf;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

powerpc/pseries: Add backward compatibilty to read old kernel oops-log

Older kernels has just length information in their header. Handle it
while reading old kernel oops log from pstore.

Applies on top of powerpc/pseries: Fix buffer overflow when reading from pstore
