    ipmi: Remove ACPI SPMI probing from the system interface driver · 4876234a
    Corey Minyard authored
    The IPMI spec states:
    
      The purpose of the SPMI Table is to provide a mechanism that can
      be used by the OSPM (an ACPI term for “OS Operating System-directed
      configuration and Power Management” essentially meaning an ACPI-aware
      OS or OS loader) very early in the boot process, e.g., before the
      ability to execute ACPI control methods in the OS is available.
    
    When we are probing IPMI in Linux, ACPI control methods are available,
    so we shouldn't be probing using SPMI.  It could cause some confusion
    during the probing process.
