Corey Minyard 9f88145f18 ipmi: Create a platform device for a DMI-specified IPMI interface
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.

menuconfig IPMI_HANDLER
tristate 'IPMI top-level message handler'
depends on HAS_IOMEM
select IPMI_DMI_DECODE if DMI
help
This enables the central IPMI message handler, required for IPMI
to work.
IPMI is a standard for managing sensors (temperature,
voltage, etc.) in a system.
See <file:Documentation/IPMI.txt> for more details on the driver.
If unsure, say N.
config IPMI_DMI_DECODE
bool
if IPMI_HANDLER
config IPMI_PANIC_EVENT
bool 'Generate a panic event to all BMCs on a panic'
help
When a panic occurs, this will cause the IPMI message handler to
generate an IPMI event describing the panic to each interface
registered with the message handler.
config IPMI_PANIC_STRING
bool 'Generate OEM events containing the panic string'
depends on IPMI_PANIC_EVENT
help
When a panic occurs, this will cause the IPMI message handler to
generate IPMI OEM type f0 events holding the IPMB address of the
panic generator (byte 4 of the event), a sequence number for the
string (byte 5 of the event) and part of the string (the rest of the
event). Bytes 1, 2, and 3 are the normal usage for an OEM event.
You can fetch these events and use the sequence numbers to piece the
string together.
config IPMI_DEVICE_INTERFACE
tristate 'Device interface for IPMI'
help
This provides an IOCTL interface to the IPMI message handler so
userland processes may use IPMI. It supports poll() and select().
config IPMI_SI
tristate 'IPMI System Interface handler'
help
Provides a driver for System Interfaces (KCS, SMIC, BT).
Currently, only KCS and SMIC are supported. If
you are using IPMI, you should probably say "y" here.
config IPMI_SSIF
tristate 'IPMI SMBus handler (SSIF)'
select I2C
help
Provides a driver for a SMBus interface to a BMC, meaning that you
have a driver that must be accessed over an I2C bus instead of a
standard interface. This module requires I2C support.
config IPMI_POWERNV
depends on PPC_POWERNV
tristate 'POWERNV (OPAL firmware) IPMI interface'
help
Provides a driver for OPAL firmware-based IPMI interfaces.
config IPMI_WATCHDOG
tristate 'IPMI Watchdog Timer'
help
This enables the IPMI watchdog timer.
config IPMI_POWEROFF
tristate 'IPMI Poweroff'
help
This enables a function to power off the system with IPMI if
the IPMI management controller is capable of this.

config ASPEED_BT_IPMI_BMC

depends on REGMAP && REGMAP_MMIO && MFD_SYSCON
tristate "BT IPMI bmc driver"
help
Provides a driver for the BT (Block Transfer) IPMI interface
found on Aspeed SOCs (AST2400 and AST2500). The driver
implements the BMC side of the BT interface.
