[PATCH] correct printing to operator panel
This patch corrects the printing of progress indicators to the op panel on p/iSeries ppc64 systems. Each discrete reference code should begin with a form feed char to clear the op panel, and the first and second lines should be separated with a CR/LF sequence. Padding with spaces is not necessary. Also, capitalize the hex value printed on the first line, to be consistent with the values printed by firmware, service processor, etc. It turns out that there's an ibm,form-feed property; this patch uses it in the pSeries-specific progress routine. This patch also checks the number of rows and the specific width of each row (the second row on power5 systems can actually hold 80 characters). If the displayed text is too wide for the physical display, it can be viewed in the ASM menus, or by selecting option 14 on the op panel.
