Setting smb_dbg_probe to 1 will enable debugging of the probing and detection process for BMCs on the SMBusses. -Discovering the IPMI compilant BMC on the SMBus can cause devices +Discovering the IPMI compliant BMC on the SMBus can cause devices on the I2C bus to fail. The SMBus driver writes a "Get Device ID" IPMI message as a block write to the I2C bus and waits for a response. This action can be detrimental to some I2C devices. It is highly recommended that the known I2c address be given to the SMBus driver in the smb_addr -parameter. The default adrress range will not be used when a smb_addr +parameter. The default address range will not be used when a smb_addr parameter is provided. When compiled into the kernel, the addresses can be specified on the
