ipmi: Consolidate the adding of platform devices

2019-02-22T13:12:41Z

It was being done in two different places now that hard-coded devices use platform devices, and it's about to be three with hotmod switching to platform devices. So put the code in one place. This required some rework on some interfaces to make the type space clean. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

ipmi: Remove the proc interface

2018-05-09T17:21:46Z

It has been deprecated long enough, get rid of it. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

ipmi: add an NPCM7xx KCS BMC driver

2018-04-18T15:23:12Z

This driver exposes the Keyboard Controller Style (KCS) interface on Novoton NPCM7xx SoCs as a character device. Such SOCs are commonly used as a BaseBoard Management Controller (BMC) on a server board, and KCS interface is commonly used to perform the in-band IPMI communication between the server and its BMC.

ipmi: add an Aspeed KCS IPMI BMC driver

2018-02-26T15:21:28Z

The KCS (Keyboard Controller Style) interface is used to perform in-band IPMI communication between a server host and its BMC (BaseBoard Management Controllers). This driver exposes the KCS interface on ASpeed SOCs (AST2400 and AST2500) as a character device. Such SOCs are commonly used as BMCs and this driver implements the BMC side of the KCS interface.

ipmi: add a KCS IPMI BMC driver

2018-02-26T15:21:28Z

Provides a device driver for the KCS (Keyboard Controller Style) IPMI interface which meets the requirement of the BMC (Baseboard Management Controllers) side for handling the IPMI request from host system software. Signed-off-by: Haiyue Wang [Removed the selectability of IPMI_KCS_BMC, as it doesn't do much good to have it by itself.] Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

ipmi: Make the IPMI proc interface configurable

2017-09-28T17:26:03Z

So we can remove it later. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

ipmi: Make IPMI panic strings always available

2017-09-27T21:03:45Z

They were set by config items, but people complained that they were never turned on. So have them always available and enabled by a module parameter. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

ipmi: Create a platform device for a DMI-specified IPMI interface

2017-06-19T17:49:36Z

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.

ipmi: bt-bmc: Use a regmap for register access

2017-02-20T17:00:48Z

The registers for the bt-bmc device live under the Aspeed LPC controller. Devicetree bindings have recently been introduced for the LPC controller where the "host" portion of the LPC register space is described as a syscon device. Future devicetrees describing the bt-bmc device should nest its node under the appropriate "simple-mfd", "syscon" compatible node. This change allows the bt-bmc driver to function with both syscon and non-syscon- based devicetree descriptions by always using a regmap for register access, either retrieved from the parent syscon device or instantiated if none exists.
