Cross-posting to openipmi and linux-i2c... (in plain text this time... my apologies.) There are four patches from Cavium starting with https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/1/18/12 that fix an issue with the xlp9xx driver that causes ipmi_ssif not to be able to detect a platform BMC. I have two different pre-production hardware chassis that are affected by this issue and I don't see that the patches were included in v4.15. I wonder if either Corey or Jean could/should pick these up and submit upstream? There doesn't seem to be a MAINTAINERS entry for the i2c-xlp9xx The driver was submitted Cavium (was Broadcom at the time) The posts don't seem to have gotten any comments on LKML. I tested the patches and they fix the ipmi_ssif detection issue I had. So I'm willing to add "Tested-by" to the patches if that helps. Would like to see these patches make it up-stream so I can they ask that they be included in the Red Hat and SuSE distro kernels for ARM64.
