[Openipmi-developer] [PATCH 2/2] ipmi: ssif_bmc: add GPIO-based alert mechanism

[Potin L. <pot...@gm...>]

From: Cosmo Chou <cho...@gm...>

Implement GPIO-based alert mechanism in the SSIF BMC driver to notify
the host when a response is ready.

This improves host-BMC communication efficiency by providing immediate
notification, potentially reducing host polling overhead.
