Hi Akshay,
The amd-sbi Linux driver (sbrmi-i2c kernel module) can currently be
selected on all architectures. Is this driver intended to be used on
the host, or on the BMC, or both?
If it's an host-side driver, it should not be proposed on non-x86
architectures by default and we should add a hardware dependency to it
(or'd with COMPILE_TEST to preserve build testing coverage). What do
you think?
Thanks,

Hi Jean,
Its not a host-side driver and is intended for BMC. Today we are using
over ARM and ARM64 BMC.

OK, thanks for clarifying. I think this information could be added to
Kconfig to benefit to all users and help them decide if they want to
build the driver or not. I'll send a patch.
