From: Kamlakant Patel <kamlakantp@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 55be8658c7e2feb11a5b5b33ee031791dbd23a69 upstream. According to ipmi spec, block number is a number that is incremented, starting with 0, for each new block of message data returned using the middle transaction. Here, the 'blocknum' is data[0] which always starts from zero(0) and 'ssif_info->multi_pos' starts from 1. So, we need to add +1 to blocknum while comparing with multi_pos. Fixes: 7d6380cd40f79 ("ipmi:ssif: Fix handling of multi-part return messages").
