Oic. Thanks for your information. I think netfn 2b cmd 1c is the garbage
as our code didn't have such netfn and cmd returned. Thus, I would
suspect the timing of the bmc/os/driver didn't match and caused it... 
BTW, I looked into the mv3.1 driver, it did checked for this incorrect
response as well, wonder why with the same bmc code but no issue on
mv3.1. Timing ???  :) 

Thanks,
YM

Depending on the version of MV3.1, that log may not have even been
present.  If the file include/linux/lsppatchlevel.h is not present in
the kernel sources, then it is probably an old version without this
check.

I hunted down the scenario I was thinking about, and I was somewhat
incorrect.  That problem was the reason this log exists now.  It was a
BMC that was actually returning an incorrect response and the driver was
misbehaving, so I added this log and some additional checks.  At this
point I would suspect the BMC is doing something wrong.
