Many IPMB devices don't support smbus protocol and this driver only supports the smbus protocol at the moment. Added support for the i2c protocol as well. There will be a variable "i2c-protocol" passed by the device tree or ACPI table which determines whether the protocol is i2c or smbus.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
