Could you please resend with my patch which is still available here :

  https://github.com/legoater/qemu/commit/c6b679690f32534e8992d96752d90d2c4aa48130

or here :

  http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/qemu-devel/patch/20210407171637.777743-20-clg@kaod.org/

and in another patch, the modifications you made on top of mine. That
will help understand where the problem could be.

You can modify patches but you need to keep the original author name,
commit log, signed-off-by to certify its origin. Then list the changes
you have made and add your signed-off-by.

The patch you sent seems to be mostly mine and I don't see any of the
above.

Here is some more info in the kernel documentation :

   https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.12/process/submitting-patches.html#sign-your-work-the-developer-s-certificate-of-origin

I don't think we have the same kind of documentation in QEMU but it's
the same process.

I have no idea what these patches do and where they are. They seem to
modify the core IPMI framework and it is important to understand the
overall changes. Please include them in the patchset first since they
are initial requirements.

Could we have the full command lines also ?

We will need the whole project to start reviewing.

Thanks,
