docs: move IPMI.txt to the driver API book

2020-05-15T17:55:04+00:00

The IPMI is under drivers/char. This doc describes the kAPI
part of the IPMI (mainly).

So, move it to the driver-api directory and add it to the
corresponding index.rst file.

ipmi: Make IPMI panic strings always available

2017-09-27T21:03:45+00:00

They were set by config items, but people complained that they were
never turned on.  So have them always available and enabled by a
module parameter.

IPMI.txt: standardize document format

2017-07-14T19:51:40+00:00

Each text file under Documentation follows a different
format. Some doesn't even have titles!

Change its representation to follow the adopted standard,
using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx:

- fix document type;
- add missing markups for subitems;
- mark literal blocks;
- add whitespaces and blank lines where needed;
- use bulleted list markups where neded.

ipmi watchdog : add panic_wdt_timeout parameter

2015-11-16T12:28:43+00:00

In order to allow panic actions to be processed, the ipmi watchdog
driver sets a new timeout value on panic. The 255s timeout
was designed to allow kdump and others actions on panic, as in
http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0711.3/0258.html

This is counter-intuitive for a end-user who sets watchdog timeout
value to something like 30s and who expects BMC to reset the system
within 30s of a panic.

This commit allows user to configure the timeout on panic.

ipmi:ssif: Ignore spaces when comparing I2C adapter names

2015-05-05T19:24:45+00:00

Some of the adapters have spaces in their names, but that's really
hard to pass in as a module or kernel parameters.  So ignore the
spaces.

IPMI: Remove SMBus driver info from the docs

2012-10-17T01:07:12+00:00

Some documentation for the SMBus driver is in the IPMI docs, but that
code is not in the kernel tree at this point.  So remove the docs to
avoid confusion.
