2020-02-19powerpc/powernv: Move core and fadump_release_opalcore under new kobjectSourabh Jain
The /sys/firmware/opal/core and /sys/kernel/fadump_release_opalcore sysfs files are used to export and release the OPAL memory on PowerNV platform. let's organize them into a new kobject under /sys/firmware/opal/mpipl/ directory. A symlink is added to maintain the backward compatibility for /sys/firmware/opal/core sysfs file.

2019-07-17docs: powerpc: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rstMauro Carvalho Chehab
Convert docs to ReST and add them to the arch-specific book. The conversion here was trivial, as almost every file there was already using an elegant format close to ReST standard. The changes were mostly to mark literal blocks and add a few missing section title identifiers. One note with regards to "--": on Sphinx, this can't be used to identify a list, as it will format it badly. This can be used, however, to identify a long hyphen - and "---" is an even longer one. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
