Hello
On one of my servers I got this line in dmesg
(NULL device *): The BMC does not support setting the recv irq bit, compensating, but the BMC needs to be fixed.
This printing is done via a dev_warn(smi_info->dev,) in drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:check_clr_rcv_irq() but smi_info->dev is set only latter in try_smi_init().
I do not know which way is better to fix it, either move the code block which register the device before check_for_broken_irqs(), or perhaps replace dev_warn by pr_warn.
Regards
Corentin Labbe

Some logs are printed out early using smi->dev, but on a platform device
that is not created until later. So move the creation of that device
structure earlier in the sequence so it can be used for printing.

Corentin, can you try the attached patch? It moves the platform device
allocation earlier, but I don't really want to actually add the platform
device until later.

It works.
After patching:
