From 7ee17466b6ac3b63ce87492d080e15e7f144f7d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2007 14:48:24 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] [POWERPC] Early debug forces console log level to max This makes the early debug option force the console loglevel to the max. The early debug option is meant to catch messages very early in the kernel boot process, in many cases, before the kernel has a chance to parse the "debug" command line argument. Thus it makes sense when CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG is set, to force the console log level to the max at boot time.
