Did you intend for this to be different from the email you're using to

Oliver obviously knows more about how HDAT actually works, I won't 
repeat his comments.

I haven't checked the actual important bit of how HDAT is exposed in 
device tree but other than that things look fairly good. Boring 
stylistic comments below!

I think I know why you've put it in opal-msglog.c - the existing code in 
there does similar things in exposing a chunk of skiboot stuff via a 
sysfs file - but it's not immediately obvious given that HDAT and msglog 
are quite different things. Perhaps add a new file, opal-hdat.c?

Kernel coding style tends to avoid using camelCase naming, instead 
preferring all-lowercase separated by underscores. (same applies to a 
couple of other places)

Prefix these with "OPAL: " like the other messages?
