Public bug reported:

The current ipmitool code can fail to find an IPMI device on my
OpenPower machine, due to bug in the USB SCSI device discovery process.

This will only happen if the user has adjusted the number of virtual USB
devices that the BMC exports. However, the failure mode isn't obvious,
and it prevents the user from using the 'USB' IPMI channel, which is
required for firmware upgrades.

This is fixed in upstream commit 607cfe6f4, can we backport this to the
Ubuntu ipmitool for versions at 1.8.15 or earlier?
