Merge tag 'for-linus-4.17' of git://github.com/cminyard/linux-ipmi
Pull IPMI updates from Corey Minyard: "Mostly small changes, as usual. This does add an IPMI BMC server-side driver, to allow a Linux system to act as an IPMI controller. That's the biggest change, but it is just a new driver that is fairly narrow in use. The other largish change is removing ACPI SPMI probe support, which should have never really been there in the beginning" * tag 'for-linus-4.17' of git://github.com/cminyard/linux-ipmi: ipmi/parisc: Add IPMI chassis poweroff for certain HP PA-RISC and IA-64 servers ipmi_ssif: Fix kernel panic at msg_done_handler ipmi:pci: Blacklist a Realtek "IPMI" device ipmi: Remove ACPI SPMI probing from the system interface driver ipmi: Remove ACPI SPMI probing from the SSIF (I2C) driver ipmi: missing error code in try_smi_init() ipmi: use ARRAY_SIZE for poweroff_functions array sizing calculation ipmi: Consolidate cleanup code ipmi: Remove some unnecessary initializations ipmi: Fix some error cleanup issues ipmi: Add or fix SPDX-License-Identifier in all files ipmi: Re-use existing macros for built-in properties ipmi:pci: Make the PCI defines consistent with normal Linux ones ipmi: kcs_bmc: coding-style fixes and use new poll type char/ipmi: add documentation for sysfs interface ipmi: kcs_bmc: mark expected switch fall-through in kcs_bmc_handle_data ipmi: add an Aspeed KCS IPMI BMC driver ipmi: add a KCS IPMI BMC driver

+* Aspeed KCS (Keyboard Controller Style) IPMI interface
+
+The Aspeed SOCs (AST2400 and AST2500) are commonly used as BMCs
+(Baseboard Management Controllers) and the KCS interface can be
+used to perform in-band IPMI communication with their host.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : should be one of
+ "aspeed,ast2400-kcs-bmc"
+ "aspeed,ast2500-kcs-bmc"
+- interrupts : interrupt generated by the controller
+- kcs_chan : The LPC channel number in the controller
+- kcs_addr : The host CPU IO map address
+
+
+Example:
+
+ kcs3: kcs3@0 {
+ compatible = "aspeed,ast2500-kcs-bmc";
+ reg = <0x0 0x80>;
+ interrupts = <8>;
+ kcs_chan = <3>;
+ kcs_addr = <0xCA2>;
+ status = "okay";
+ };
