Remove the pseries scanlog driver. This code supports functions from Power4-era servers that are not present on targets currently supported by arch/powerpc. System manuals from this time have this description: Scan Dump data is a set of chip data that the service processor gathers after a system malfunction. It consists of chip scan rings, chip trace arrays, and Scan COM (SCOM) registers. This data is stored in the scan-log partition of the system’s Nonvolatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM). PowerVM partition firmware development doesn't recognize the associated function call or property, and they don't see any references to them in their codebase. It seems to have been specific to non-virtualized pseries.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
