We fix the check in 1084, which was

1084 			if (addr->channel > IPMI_NUM_CHANNELS) {
1085 				spin_lock_irqsave(&intf->counter_lock, flags);
1086 				intf->sent_invalid_commands++;
1087 				spin_unlock_irqrestore(&intf->counter_lock, flags);
1088 				rv = -EINVAL;
1089 				goto out_err;
1090 			}

addr->channel is used in

1092 			if (intf->channels[addr->channel].medium

Definitions involved:

221  		struct ipmi_channel channels[IPMI_MAX_CHANNELS];

134  	#define IPMI_MAX_CHANNELS       8

In /linux-2.6.12-rc6/include/linux/ipmi.h
148  	#define IPMI_NUM_CHANNELS 0x10
