Ok I will send another patch with acpi support.

    Subject: [PATCH v4] drivers: ipmi: Support raw i2c packet in IPMB
    
    Many IPMB devices doesn't support smbus protocol and current driver support only smbus devices. Added support for raw i2c packets.
    
    User can define i2c-protocol in device tree to use i2c raw transfer.
    
    A>> Please fix the description as suggested in previous comments

    I know Corey said that ACPI is not a priority but many companies (including mine) use ACPI and I would prefer if we implement it. All you need to do is use
    device_property_read_u32 function instead of of_get_property:
    ret = device_property_read_u32(&client->dev, "i2c-protocol", &ipmb_dev->is_i2c_protocol);
    This function does the job for both dt and acpi.
