It appears to be unrelated to the failure this original message was about. However, the failure brought the above to our attention.
Is the IPMI driver used on ARM? Documentation/IPMI.txt indicates a dependency on ACPI, but that isn't reflected in the Kconfig. At any rate, it seems rather unhappy. :(
It certainly can be used, and it can be probed through a known PC-style port number or through the DT binding.
However, we don't normally want it to try the PC style addresses, which appear to be used in this case. This should only happen if CONFIG_IPMI_SI_PROBE_DEFAULTS is set, as far as I can tell. Is that set in your configuration?
It's not set in multi_v7_defconfig, which is the config this failed under. At least not on linux-3.10.y.
Kevin, do you still have the full config from this build? Could you send us the IPMI related settings?
thx,
Jason.
