[PATCH] ipmi: bt restart reset fixes
The current BT retry/reset mechanism fails to succeed on a PowerEdge 1650,
when the controller is wedged with B2H_ATN asserted at XACTION_START. If this
occurs, no further commands will ever succeed unless the state of the
controller is first cleared out.
Furthermore, the soft reset would only occur if the first command after insmod
was the one that timed out, not if a later command timed out.
This patch changes the retry/reset mechanism to be as follows:
Before retrying a command, clear the state of the BT controller such that the
flags represent ready for a new transaction. This increases the chance of
success of the restarted transaction.
After 2 retries, issue a soft reset and retry one more time before giving up
and reporting back a failure.
