The only caller does:

			/* Setup error log interface */
			rc = opal_elog_init();
			/* Setup code update interface */
			opal_flash_init();
			/* Setup platform dump extract interface */
			opal_platform_dump_init();
			/* Setup system parameters interface */
			opal_sys_param_init();
			/* Setup message log interface. */
			opal_msglog_init();
		}
	
		return 0;
	}


So we may as well have it return void. Wanna send a follow-up patch for that.

cheers
