Subject: ipmi: check, if default ports are accessible on PPC From: Christian Krafft ipmi_si_intf tries to access default ports, if no device could be found elsewhere. On PPC we have a function to check, if these legacy IO ports are accessible. This patch adds a check for these ports on PPC. This patch fixes a breakage of IPMI module on PPC machines without a BMC.
