Revision 2c2a63e301fd19ccae673e79de59b30a232ff7f9 authored by Michael Ellerman on 08 June 2016, 00:01:23 UTC, committed by Michael Ellerman on 08 June 2016, 00:40:05 UTC
The recent commit 7cc851039d64 ("powerpc/pseries: Add POWER8NVL support
to ibm,client-architecture-support call") added a new PVR mask & value
to the start of the ibm_architecture_vec[] array.

However it missed the fact that further down in the array, we hard code
the offset of one of the fields, and then at boot use that value to
patch the value in the array. This means every update to the array must
also update the #define, ugh.

This means that on pseries machines we will misreport to firmware the
number of cores we support, by a factor of threads_per_core.

Fix it for now by updating the #define.
