Subject: [PATCH] ipmi: initialize platform driver even when using passed-in config

On platforms where manual values are passed in when the module is loaded
(or through kernel command line), the device is instantiated with a
reference to the platform driver, but the platform driver never gets
initialized and loaded.

Instead, always initialize the driver, but override any SMBIOS-found
entries with the hardcoded values where they are in conflict.

Crash is as below:
