+From 7a74bdc8d1b0b32c35dc83e130f687a52dfda1e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>
+Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2015 09:17:21 +0800
+Subject: [PATCH] plugins: Add a backend for the OpenBMC dbus interface
+
+Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>
+
+Includes the following commits from the following authors
+
+plugins/dbus: Split netfn from lun, and ccode from data
+
+Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>
+
+plugins/dbus: fix missing semicolon
+
+Reported-by: Chris Austen <austenc@us.ibm.com>
+
+Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>
+
+plugins/dbus: Fix ccode response
+
+We need to copy it in from the dbus reply.
+
+Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>
+
+plugins/dbus: Use default dbus connection
+
+... so we'll use the system bus if run as UID 0.
+
+Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>
+
+if no interface is specified, use the dbus interface by default
+
+This is a patch that should only be on openbmc, not sent upstream
+because the dbus interface is really only an openbmc thing.
