Subject: [PATCH v2] powerpc/powernv: Support OPAL requested heartbeat

From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2014 16:13:50 +1100

If OPAL requests it, call it back via opal_poll_events() at a
regular interval. Some versions of OPAL on some machines require
this to operate some internal timeouts properly.

V2. Change device-tree property to "ibm,heartbeat-ms"
