There seem to be multiple revisions of this card. The photos have the
revision number printed on the board and the manuals have the E21XXX
number on them.
R1.01 - E21362 photo [1] manual[2]
R1.04 - E21524 photo [3] manual[4]

Mine is the latter. There seem to be some differences in the layout of
the different headers on the board, but the same set of headers are on
both boards. There is only one fw image on Asus's site, so I guess
they're the same from a sw point of view.

I've linked a screenshot [5] from the webui on the stock fw and it
says that the firmware model is "KOMMANDO". Asus also seems to name
the fw update file for this board KODO1140.ima (KODO is short for
KOMMANDO?, 1140 is the version number).

I looked at other Asus Motherboard onboard BMC fw updates and they
seem to be named <Mobo Model><version>.ima. Example board "Pro WS
W680M" [6], fw update name W680M1121.ima, another example board "Pro
WS W790E" [7], fw update name W7901167.ima

"asus,kommando-ipmi-expansion-card" is a bit long, so maybe we should
go with "asus,kodo-ipmi-expansion-card". SEO for either of the 2 terms
is not very good, but that's not what we're looking for here are we?
