    Subject[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 27/43] powerpc/powernv: opal_put_chars partial write fix
    Date
    From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>

    [ Upstream commit bd90284cc6c1c9e8e48c8eadd0c79574fcce0b81 ]

    The intention here is to consume and discard the remaining buffer
    upon error. This works if there has not been a previous partial write.
    If there has been, then total_len is no longer total number of bytes
    to copy. total_len is always "bytes left to copy", so it should be
    added to written bytes.

    This code may not be exercised any more if partial writes will not be
    hit, but this is a small bugfix before a larger change.
