    [PATCH] ipmi: add full sysfs support · 50c812b2
    Corey Minyard authored
    Add full driver model support for the IPMI driver.  It links in the proper
    bus and device support.
    
    It adds an "ipmi" driver interface that has each BMC discovered by the
    driver (as a device).  These BMCs appear in the devices/platform directory.
     If there are multiple interfaces to the same BMC, the driver should
    discover this and will only have one BMC entry.  The BMC entry will have
    pointers to each interface device that connects to it.
    
    The device information (statistics and config information) has not yet been
    ported over to the driver model from proc, that will come later.
    
    This work was based on work by Yani Ioannou.  I basically rewrote it using
    that code as a guide, but he still deserves credit :).
