  ipmi:ssif: Add a module parm to specify that SMBus alerts don't work
(2015-09-03 15:02:31 -0500)

IPMI updates for 4.3

Most of these have been sitting in linux-next for more than a release,
particularly
  ipmi: Convert the IPMI SI ACPI handling to a platform device
which is probably the most complex patch.  That is also the one that changes
drivers/acpi/acpi_pnp.c.  The change in that file is only removing IPMI
from a "special
platform devices" list, since I convert it to the standard PNP
interface.  I posted this
one to the ACPI list twice and got no response, and it seems to work
well in my
testing, so I'm hoping it's good.

Hidehiro Kawai posted a set of changes that improves the panic time handling
in the IPMI driver.

The rest of the changes are minor bug fixes or cleanups and some
documentation.

      ipmi: add of_device_id in MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE

      ipmi: Compensate for BMCs that wont set the irq enable bit
      ipmi:ssif: Add a module parm to specify that SMBus alerts don't work

Corey,

 just for your information: this pull request doesn't show up with my
normal merge-window search pattern of "git pull", because you never
actually say "pull" anywhere.

Please use a subject with "[GIT PULL]" prefix (preferred), or just
change the body of the email to have a "please pull" in it or
something.  I get too much email, and particularly during the merge
window it really helps if I can keep my pull emails separate from
other stuff by just having them match a simple pattern.

As it is, I almost missed it. I went "ahh, all pending pull requests
done, but let's double-check.."

                 Linus
