Personally, I was okay with Andrew's suggestion of naming it
"asus,ipmi-expansion-card" because that's the official product name
and that exact term works well for online searches.

This seems like a pretty niche product Asus announced 4 years ago and
made in very low volumes. I'm not sure if they'll make a new one with
an ast2700, given how the modern trend is to have BMCs on
motherboards. What do you think about the naming Andrew?
