    ipmi_si: Fix crash when using hard-coded device · 41b766d6
    Corey Minyard authored
    When excuting a command like:
      modprobe ipmi_si ports=0xffc0e3 type=bt
    The system would get an oops.
    
    The trouble here is that ipmi_si_hardcode_find_bmc() is called before
    ipmi_si_platform_init(), but initialization of the hard-coded device
    creates an IPMI platform device, which won't be initialized yet.
    
    The real trouble is that hard-coded devices aren't created with
    any device, and the fixup is done later.  So do it right, create the
    hard-coded devices as normal platform devices.
    
    This required adding some new resource types to the IPMI platform
    code for passing information required by the hard-coded device
    and adding some code to remove the hard-coded platform devices
    on module removal.
    
    To enforce the "hard-coded devices passed by the user take priority
    over firmware devices" rule, some special code was added to check
    and see if a hard-coded device already exists.
