The patch titled IPMI: Add PPC openfirmware unregister has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is ipmi-add-ppc-openfirmware-unregister.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: IPMI: Add PPC openfirmware unregister From: Christian Krafft <krafft@xxxxxxxxxx> When trying to load the ipmi_si module on a powerpc with no BMC (baseboard management controller) the driver failes to load correctly, but doesn't unregister itself from of_platform. So, on a second modprobe the kernel crashes. This patch adds the missing unregister call.
