Long ago, only in the lab, there was OPALv1 and OPALv2. Now there is
just OPALv3, with nobody ever expecting anything on pre-OPALv3 to
be cared about or supported by mainline kernels.

So, let's remove FW_FEATURE_OPAL and instead use FW_FEATURE_OPALv3
exclusively.
It would be less churn if we did the reverse, ie. removed v3 and just
used
quoted
FW_FEATURE_OPAL. It would also read better as v3 is the one and only
version we
quoted
care about, so having it called out everywhere is superfluous.

Or is there a good reason I missed?
excessive caution?
Yeah fair enough.
I'll send a V2 patchset doing the reverse, leaving FW_FEATURE_OPAL.
Thanks.

cheers
