The SMBus system interface (SSIF) IPMI BMC driver can be used to perform
in-band IPMI communication with their host in management (BMC) side.

Thanks Dan for the copy_from_user() fix in the link below.

I have been testing this on our hardware and I don't seem to be able to 
get this driver working. I was using an older version.

I have hacked ssifbridged to deal with the change in len from u8 to 
unsigned int.

It works as long as I only ever send SSIF commands, any attempt to read 
a response crashes the state machine and the driver never recovers. No 
further SSIF comms is possible! (slave doesnt even ACK writes).

A couple of comments below on possible state machine errors.

Its possible I am doing something wrong!

Is this actually correct? The state machine seems to set this as the 
default state and in my testing we seem to always reach here with the 
state == SSIF_READY?

Thanks Graeme for the test and the comments.

What's your testing hardware?

This was tested with Aspeed ast2500 and ast2600 with the patch series 
[1] below applied.

If you use the same hw, could you pick the series and see if any thing 
improve ?

The I2C_SLAVE_READ_REQUESTED event is expected to come on SSIF_SMBUS_CMD 
state where Slave has already received and validated the SMBus command, 
in this case is the I2C_SLAVE_READ_REQUESTED event if the SMBus command 
indeed is the READ command. You can see the check supported_read_cmd() 
below.

If Slave see the I2C_SLAVE_READ_REQUESTED event on other states, it will 
transition to SSIF_ABORTING state that discard everything until there is 
a new transaction come.

On READ, the sequence of Slave event should be as below:
I2C_SLAVE_WRITE_REQUESTED (addr) => I2C_SLAVE_WRITE_RECEIVED (SMBus cmd) 
=> I2C_SLAVE_READ_REQUESTED (Slave feed the first byte) => 
I2C_SLAVE_READ_PROCESSED (Slave 2nd byte) => .... => I2C_SLAVE_STOP

Same here, I2C_SLAVE_READ_PROCESSED is expected to come after the 
I2C_SLAVE_READ_REQUESTED or other I2C_SLAVE_READ_PROCESSED. ie: when the 
state is SSIF_RES_SENDING.
If it comes when Slave in states other than SSIF_RES_SENDING, the Slave 
will transition to SSIF_ABORTING state.

Thanks, that patch series does stop the state machine crashing.

I am testing on AST2600EVB with A1 rev, but we also have our own DC-SCM 
with A3 chip.

Responses are still not working for me, but I think that may be an error 
in my ssifbridged hacks.
