   ipmi/bt-bmc: remove redundant return value check of 
platform_get_resource() (2016-10-20 20:27:55 -0500)

----------------------------------------------------------------
A small bug fix and a new driver for acting as an IPMI device.

I was on vacation during the merge window (a long vacation)
but this is a bug fix that should go in and a new driver that shouldn't
hurt anything.

This has been in linux-next for a month or so.

Clearly not. It was committed yesterday.

What the hell is wrong with people? If you had it in linux-next and it
was tested, why did you then send me something else?

Pulled and then immediately unpulled again, because the "this was
ready but I didn't send it to you because I was on vacation" was a
fine explanation, but then when I actually look at it I notice that it
wasn't actually true.

I rebased it, but that was it.  I'll resend the exact version that was 
in linux-next.
