Subject: [PATCH v4] drivers: ipmi: Support raw i2c packet in IPMB

Many IPMB devices doesn't support smbus protocol and current driver support only smbus devices. Added support for raw i2c packets.

User can define i2c-protocol in device tree to use i2c raw transfer.

A>> Please fix the description as suggested in previous comments

You can have:

addr being an argument of the ipmb_i2c_write function and passed in ipmb_write. We already define it.

I know Corey said that ACPI is not a priority but many companies (including mine) use ACPI and I would prefer if we implement it. All you need to do is use
device_property_read_u32 function instead of of_get_property:
ret = device_property_read_u32(&client->dev, "i2c-protocol", &ipmb_dev->is_i2c_protocol);
This function does the job for both dt and acpi.

i2c_set_clientdata(client, ipmb_dev);
ret = i2c_slave_register(client, ipmb_slave_cb);
