As part of this patch series I wanted to remove the 'PFX' argument from ipmi_of_probe()'s dev_printk constructs as I believe it produces redundant output but I do not have a PPC platform to test against. Ultimately, I would like to see if it is possible to also remove IPMI's SMBIOS based device discovery mechanism. --- Myron Stowe (4): ipmi: Raise precedence of PNP based discovery mechanisms (ACPI, PCI) ipmi: Remove SPMI table based device discovery method ipmi: Convert tracking of the ACPI device pointer to a PNP device ipmi: Update driver to use 'dev_printk()' and its constructs drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_bt_sm.c | 2 drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c | 11 + drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c | 277 +++++++---------------------------- 3 files changed, 60 insertions(+), 230 deletions(-)
