[PATCH] ipmi: Fix kernel panic at ipmi_ssif_thread()
From: Joeseph Chang
Date: Thu Mar 23 2017 - 03:35:06 EST
From: Joeseph Chang <joechang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
msg_written_handler() may set ssif_info->multi_data to NULL
when using ipmitool to write fru.
Change the ssif i2c send data sequence in msg_written_handler()
to fix NULL pointer kernel panic and incorrect ssif_info->multi_pos.
