Merge tag 'for-linus-4.3' of git://git.code.sf.net/p/openipmi/linux-ipmi
Pull IPMI updates from Corey Minyard: "Most of these have been sitting in linux-next for more than a release, particularly commit 0fbcf4af7c83 ("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" * tag 'for-linus-4.3' of git://git.code.sf.net/p/openipmi/linux-ipmi: ipmi:ssif: Add a module parm to specify that SMBus alerts don't work ipmi: add of_device_id in MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE ipmi: Compensate for BMCs that wont set the irq enable bit ipmi: Don't call receive handler in the panic context ipmi: Avoid touching possible corrupted lists in the panic context ipmi: Don't flush messages in sender() in run-to-completion mode ipmi: Factor out message flushing procedure ipmi: Remove unneeded set_run_to_completion call ipmi: Make some data const that was only read ipmi: constify SSIF ACPI device ids ipmi: Delete an unnecessary check before the function call "cleanup_one_si" char:ipmi - Change 1 to true for bool type variables during initialization. impi:Remove unneeded setting of module owner to THIS_MODULE in the platform structure, powernv_ipmi_driver ipmi: Add a comment in how messages are delivered from the lower layer ipmi/powernv: Fix potential invalid pointer dereference ipmi: Convert the IPMI SI ACPI handling to a platform device ipmi: Add device tree bindings information

+IPMI device
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: should be one of ipmi-kcs, ipmi-smic, or ipmi-bt
+- device_type: should be ipmi
+- reg: Address and length of the register set for the device
+
+Optional properties:
+- interrupts: The interrupt for the device. Without this the interface
+ is polled.
+- reg-size - The size of the register. Defaults to 1
+- reg-spacing - The number of bytes between register starts. Defaults to 1
+- reg-shift - The amount to shift the registers to the right to get the data
+ into bit zero.
+
+Example:
+
+smic@fff3a000 {
+ compatible = "ipmi-smic";
+ device_type = "ipmi";
+ reg = <0xfff3a000 0x1000>;
+ interrupts = <0 24 4>;
+ reg-size = <4>;
+ reg-spacing = <4>;
+};
