This series fixes three possible warnings that OPAL firmware would emit
when booting on hardware/simulator that didn't support certain functionality.

The correct thing for Linux to do is to detect firmware capability
by using the OPAL_CHECK_TOKEN call or examining device tree. In the case
of these three warnings, it was OPAL_CHECK_TOKEN.

Stewart Smith (3):
  powerpc/powernv: only register log if OPAL supports doing so
  powerpc/powernv: only call OPAL_ELOG_RESEND if firmware supports it
  powerpc/powernv: only call OPAL_RESEND_DUMP if firmware supports it
