Hi all,
This series implements a more dynamic method of reporting BMC version &
identification. The current method of registering versions and IDs
during ipmi_register_smi means that if a BMC is upgraded during a boot,
the IPMI core code will report old version information.
We do this by querying the BMC (using a Get Device ID request) at smi
registration in the IPMI core code, and when the sysfs version & id
attributes are accessed.
The core of the change is in patch 3/4. Patches 1 and 2 implement a
couple of minor API changes leading up to this.
Patch 4 converts the powernv IPMI driver to use the dynamic IDs, rather
than using a zero device ID.
Questions & comments most welcome.
Jeremy Kerr (4):
ipmi: Add a reference from BMC devices to their interfaces
ipmi: Make ipmi_demangle_device_id more generic
ipmi: allow dynamic BMC version information
ipmi/powernv: Use dynamic device ids
Is there any update on these patches? If they need a rebase, I'd be
happy to resubmit.
Please resubmit. I'm not sure what happened here.

Cheers,
