Subject: [PATCH 5.4 50/60] powerpc/rtas: Allow ibm,platform-dump RTAS call with null buffer address

From: Andrew Donnellan <ajd@...ux.ibm.com>

commit 7bc08056a6dabc3a1442216daf527edf61ac24b6 upstream.

Add a special case to block_rtas_call() to allow the ibm,platform-dump RTAS
call through the RTAS filter if the buffer address is 0.

According to PAPR, ibm,platform-dump is called with a null buffer address
to notify the platform firmware that processing of a particular dump is
finished.

Without this, on a pseries machine with CONFIG_PPC_RTAS_FILTER enabled, an
application such as rtas_errd that is attempting to retrieve a dump will
encounter an error at the end of the retrieval process.
