Implement GPIO-based alert mechanism in the SSIF BMC driver to notify
the host when a response is ready.
This improves host-BMC communication efficiency by providing immediate
notification, potentially reducing host polling overhead.

Thanks for adding feature to this driver, the code looks good to me.

I'm just have a bit of curious on how the ipmi_ssif in host side to work
with this mechanism? Will there be patches for ipmi_ssif to use this
feature followed?
I just saw this. What makes you think alerts are not supported in ipmi_ssif?
Yes, Corey, I see alerts are supported in ipmi_ssif.
My apology about the unclear question, I was just curious about whether
this gpio-based alerts mechanism is confirmed through test with current
ipmi_ssif without any extra patches.
Thanks,
