Hi Larry et al,

If you could give the v3 I just submitted a try that would be great:

    https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9410849/

If it still doesn't work for you then we're back to a place where I can't test 
an affected system, since QEMU pseries now works fine with my patch. Would you 
perhaps be able to get some console output by specifying console=<whatever> on 
the kernel command line? Doing that ought to be unaffected by 05fd007e4629 
("console: don't prefer first registered if DT specifies stdout-path") and 
could be a way to get us some debug output.

Thanks,
    Paul
