From 042f057fe2dcf38682d85d9f88df00d1a8d45dbd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vijay Khemka Date: Wed, 11 Dec 2019 10:56:04 -0800 Subject: drivers: ipmi: Support raw i2c packet in IPMB Many IPMB devices don't support smbus protocol and this driver only supports the smbus protocol at the moment. Added support for the i2c protocol as well. There will be a variable "i2c-protocol" passed by the device tree or ACPI table which determines whether the protocol is i2c or smbus.
