Title:
[SRU][Bionic] kernel panic in ipmi_ssif at msg_done_handler
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
[Impact]
When you boot bionic with Boot with i2c and ipmi_ssif enabled on Cavium
ThunderX2 systems with a faulty BMC that does not return any data, and the code
is trying to print the value if data[2], we get a kernel panic.

[Test]
- System with faulty BMC
- Boot with i2c and ipmi_ssif enabled.
[Fix]
Fixed upstream with:
commit f002612b9d86613bc6fde0a444e0095225f6053e

ipmi_ssif: Fix kernel panic at msg_done_handler
[Regression Potential]
ipmi_ssif is only loaded on ARM64 systems, this issue is observed only on
Cavium ThunderX2 systems with a faulty BMC. The fix does not impact other
architectures or vendor systems. Regression potential is low.
