<id>urn:sha1:d63f8f5a8812ec7023bd8c90cb08e5091a7d0d2c</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 6d2555cde2918409b0331560e66f84a0ad4849c6 upstream.

The ipmi communication is not restored after a specific version of BMC is
upgraded on our server.
The ipmi driver does not respond after printing the following log:

    ipmi_ssif: Invalid response getting flags: 1c 1

I found that after entering this branch, ssif_info-&gt;ssif_state always
holds SSIF_GETTING_FLAGS and never return to IDLE.

As a result, the driver cannot be loaded, because the driver status is
checked during the unload process and must be IDLE in shutdown_ssif():

        while (ssif_info-&gt;ssif_state != SSIF_IDLE)
                schedule_timeout(1);

The process trigger this problem is:

1. One msg timeout and next msg start send, and call
ssif_set_need_watch().

2. ssif_set_need_watch()-&gt;watch_timeout()-&gt;start_flag_fetch() change
ssif_state to SSIF_GETTING_FLAGS.

3. In msg_done_handler() ssif_state == SSIF_GETTING_FLAGS, if an error
message is received, the second branch does not modify the ssif_state.

4. All retry action need IS_SSIF_IDLE() == True. Include retry action in
watch_timeout(), msg_done_handler(). Sending msg does not work either.
SSIF_IDLE is also checked in start_next_msg().

5. The only thing that can be triggered in the SSIF driver is
watch_timeout(), after destory_user(), this timer will stop too.

So, if enter this branch, the ssif_state will remain SSIF_GETTING_FLAGS
and can't send msg, no timer started, can't unload.

We did a comparative test before and after adding this patch, and the
result is effective.

Fixes: 259307074bfc ("ipmi: Add SMBus interface driver (SSIF)")

<content type='text'>
The IPMI spec has a time (T6) specified between request retries.  Add
the handling for that.

Rename the SSIF_IDLE() to IS_SSIF_IDLE(), since that is more clear, and
rename SSIF_NORMAL to SSIF_IDLE, since that's more accurate.

The resend_msg() function cannot fail, but there was error handling
around using it.  Rework the handling of the error, and fix the out of
retries debug reporting that was wrong around this, too.

The spec states that the minimum message retry time is 60ms, but it was
set to 20ms.  Correct it.

<title>i2c: Make remove callback return void</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ed5c2f5fd10dda07263f79f338a512c0f49f76f5</id>
<content type='text'>
The value returned by an i2c driver's remove function is mostly ignored.
(Only an error message is printed if the value is non-zero that the
error is ignored.)

So change the prototype of the remove function to return no value. This
way driver authors are not tempted to assume that passing an error to
the upper layer is a good idea. All drivers are adapted accordingly.
There is no intended change of behaviour, all callbacks were prepared to
return 0 before.
