Symbolic macros are unintuitive and hard to read, whereas octal constants
are much easier to interpret. Replace macros for the basic permission
flags (user/group/other read/write/execute) with numeric constants
instead, across the whole powerpc tree.
Introducing a significant number of changes across the tree for no runtime
benefit isn't exactly desirable, but so long as these macros are still
used in the tree people will keep sending patches that add them. Not only
are they hard to parse at a glance, there are multiple ways of coming to
the same value (as you can see with 0444 and 0644 in this patch) which
hurts readability.

An opal_msg of type OPAL_MSG_ASYNC_COMP contains the return code in the
params[1] struct member. However this isn't intuitive or obvious when
reading the code and requires that a user look at the skiboot
documentation or opal-api.h to verify this.
Add an inline function to get the return code from an opal_msg and update
call sites accordingly.

OpenPower BMC machines do not place any sysparams in the device tree, so
at every boot we get a warning:
[ 0.437176] SYSPARAM: Opal sysparam node not found
Remove the warning, and reorder the init so we don't peform allocations
when there is no sysparam node in the device tree.

The size of the sysparam sysfs files is determined from the device tree
at boot. However the buffer is hard coded to 64 bytes. If we encounter a
parameter that is larger than 64, or miss-parse the device tree, the
buffer will overflow when reading or writing to the parameter.
Check it at discovery time, and if the parameter is too large, do not
create a sysfs entry for it.

The sysparam code currently uses the userspace supplied number of
bytes when memcpy()ing in to a local 64-byte buffer.
Limit the maximum number of bytes by the size of the buffer.

The OPAL calls are returning int64_t values, which the sysparam code
stores in an int, and the sysfs callback returns ssize_t. Make code a
easier to read by consistently using ssize_t.

When a sysparam query in OPAL returned a negative value (error code),
sysfs would spew out a decent chunk of memory; almost 64K more than
expected. This was traced to a sign/unsigned mix up in the OPAL sysparam
sysfs code at sys_param_show.
The return value of sys_param_show is a ssize_t, calculated using
return ret ? ret : attr->param_size;
Alan Modra explains:
"attr->param_size" is an unsigned int, "ret" an int, so the overall
expression has type unsigned int. Result is that ret is cast to
unsigned int before being cast to ssize_t.
Instead of using the ternary operator, set ret to the param_size if an
error is not detected. The same bug exists in the sysfs write callback;
this patch fixes it in the same way.
A note on debugging this next time: on my system gcc will warn about
this if compiled with -Wsign-compare, which is not enabled by -Wall,
only -Wextra.
