Move to the upstream IPMI BT kernel driver

The kernel driver for the iBT interface has landed upstream. In the
review process, the location of the device node was changed, as was the
naming of the ioctls and the kconfig symbol.

This change moves to the new version of btbridge, which brings in
autotools support from Matt Barth and a port to the new kernel driver
from Cédric Le Goater. The .bb file is modified to support the autotools
dependencies.

  Convert build process to autotools
  replace bt_host by bt_bmc
  add a --device option
  Corrected resulting errors from -Wall & -Werror.

We update the ast2400 and ast2500 defconfigs with the new config symbol,
and bump the kernel to the latest version. The kernel changes clean up
the old driver, and add the new one, including device tree changes.

  ARM: dts: aspeed: Enable BT IPMI BMC device
  ARM: aspeed: Add defconfigs for CONFIG_ASPEED_BT_IPMI_BMC
  ipmi: add an Aspeed BT IPMI BMC driver
  ARM: dts: aspeed: remove previous iBT definitions
  ARM: aspeed: remove previous definitions in default config
  Revert "misc: Add Aspeed BT IPMI host driver"

Build Status

Building

OpenBMC uses Yocto/Open-Embedded for a build system, which supports an out-of-tree build. It is recommended that you create an empty directory somewhere to hold the build. This directory will get big.

On Ubuntu 14.04 the following packages are required to build the default target

sudo apt-get install -y git build-essential libsdl1.2-dev texinfo gawk chrpath diffstat

On Fedora 23 the following packages are required to build the default target:

sudo dnf install -y git patch diffstat texinfo chrpath SDL-devel bitbake
sudo dnf groupinstall "C Development Tools and Libraries"

To start a build:

cd <builddir>
. <repodir>/openbmc-env
bitbake obmc-phosphor-image
