    ipmi: Create a platform device for a DMI-specified IPMI interface · 9f88145f
    Corey Minyard authored
    Create a platform device for each IPMI device in the DMI table,
    a separate kind of device for SSIF types and for KCS, BT, and
    SMIC types.  This is so auto-loading IPMI devices will work
    from just SMBIOS tables.
    
    This also adds the ability to extract the slave address from
    the SMBIOS tables, so that when the driver uses ACPI-specified
    interfaces, it can still extract the slave address from SMBIOS.
