** Description changed: [Impact] There are several stability issues with the i2c-xlp9xxx that cause communication issues between the host and the BMC, leading to unpredictable results when the ipmi-ssif module tries to enumerate the device (/dev/ipmi0). [Test Case] Reboot the system several times, each time verifying that /dev/ipmi0 is present and functional (e.g. using 'sudo ipmitool lan print'). + *** Note that systems need to be running firmware 6.2 or greater *** [Regression Risk] All patches are clean cherry picks from upstream, restricted to a driver that is only used on this platform in Ubuntu (also used on some MIPS platforms, for which we have no port).
