+Subject: [PATCH] kexec/fs2dt: Use slurp_file_len to avoid partial read of
+ files
+
+The OPAL firmware is going to embed its symbol map in the device tree.
+The size is large enough to be more than a page, and it takes
+multiple reads to get the whole file. This is because sysfs uses
+the seq_file helpers which do a page at a time.
+
+Unfortunately fs2dt has no handling for short reads and we die with:
+
+unrecoverable error: short read from"/proc/device-tree//ibm,opal/firmware/symbol-map"
+
+This patch uses the slurp_file_len helper which does the right thing.
+It moves the explicit open of the file further down for
+add_usable_mem_property and add_dyn_reconf_usable_mem_property.
+We should convert both of these to use the buffer provided by
+slurp_file_len at some stage.
