Public bug reported:
[Impact]
The X-Gene I2C slimpro driver fails to load, which is needed for ipmitool to
communicate with the bmc, locally.
[Test Case]
Ensure the slimpro driver loads and that ipmitool can communicate with the bmc.
[Regression Risk]
The slimpro driver is a standalone, xgene driver, so any issues with it will
only affect that platform. The patches were specified by APM as needed for
local bmc access to work. Outside of the driver causing a crash, a regression
in the driver itself would leave us in the same state we currently are, the
driver not loading or no access to the bmc locally.
