The only place I'm aware of where that might be is in the text for each of
the firmware levels. I don't recall ever seeing a constraint on the OS
level (or really the LIC level at that point) for POWER7 hardware. There
are some restrictions on POWER8 but mostly for the virtualization software
other than PowerVM. (ie: PowerVC)

Subject: OS version to Firmware matrix
Does IBM have a matrix of Power systems (7) firmware to OS versions? I have
a Power 7 8202-E4B and am still running V6R1M1. Before going from the older
firmware 01AL720(113) to the newer firmware versions: 01AL730(152) or
01AL740(161) or the latest 01AL770(FW770.70(112)), I want to make sure my OS
6.1.1 will still run.
I found the matrix for Firmware to HMC and OS to hardware but I cannot find
Firmware to OS version. I will be upgrading the OS sometime this year but
not for a couple of months.
