Andrew Jeffery f90bc0f97f ipmi: kcs: Poll OBF briefly to reduce OBE latency
The ASPEED KCS devices don't provide a BMC-side interrupt for the host
reading the output data register (ODR). The act of the host reading ODR
clears the output buffer full (OBF) flag in the status register (STR),
informing the BMC it can transmit a subsequent byte.

On the BMC side the KCS client must enable the OBE event *and* perform a
subsequent read of STR anyway to avoid races - the polling provides a
window for the host to read ODR if data was freshly written while
minimising BMC-side latency.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
