Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Just loading the necessary modules is not enough to get a working IPMI system 
interface (/dev/ipmi0) on Cavium ThunderX CRBs, and other ThunderX-based 
Gigabyte servers. You have to do some magic:

  echo ipmi_ssif 0x12 >/sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-4/new_device
    or maybe:
  echo ipmi_ssif 0x12 >/sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-5/new_device

  Loading the modules should be enough.

  [Test Case]
  sudo modprobe ipmi_ssif
  sudo modprobe ipmi_devintf

  Do you have a working /dev/ipmi0?
  sudo ipmitool lan print

  [Regression Risk]
  The driver being fixed is only used on ThunderX-based systems, and is 
currently not usable w/o the above manual config.
