I'm requesting a backport of
7e030d6dff713250c7dcfb543cad2addaf479b0e ipmi: Prefer ACPI system
interfaces over SMBIOS ones
to the 4.14 stable kernel tree only. This was already staged for
Linus in my public tree before Andrew noticed an issue that this
patch fixes, where the system can oops when the ipmi_si module
is removed. Since it fixes an oops that likely can affect people, I'd
like it to be added to the stable tree,
Since this bug was added in 4.13 by:
0944d889a237b6107f9ceeee053fe7221cdd1089 ipmi: Convert DMI handling
over to a platform device
it should only require a backport to 4.14.
Thank you,
