Currently, it's up to the IPMI SMIs to provide the product & version details of BMCs behind registered IPMI SMI interfaces. This device ID is provided on SMI regsitration, and kept around for all future queries. However, this version information isn't always static. For example, a BMC may be upgraded at runtime, making the old version information stale. This change allows querying the BMC device ID & version information dynamically. If no static device_id argument is provided to ipmi_register_smi, then the IPMI core code will perform a Get Device ID IPMI command to query the version information when needed. We keep a short-term cache of this information so we don't need to re-query for every attribute access.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
