    ipmi_ssif: Fix kernel panic at msg_done_handler · f002612b
    Kamlakant Patel authored
    This happens when BMC doesn't return any data and the code is trying
    to print the value of data[2].
    
    Getting following crash:
    [  484.728410] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000002

    Adding a check to validate the data len before printing data[2] to fix this issue.
