From 56a55ec64806fb56e0cd43b0f726020b74c6689b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Corey Minyard Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2005 15:18:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ipmi: fix panic ipmb response The "null message handler" in the IPMI driver is used in startup and panic situations to handle messages. It was only designed to work with messages from the local management controller, but in some cases it was used to get messages from remote managmenet controllers, and the system would then panic. This patch makes the "null message handler" in the IPMI driver more general so it works with any kind of message.
