ipmi_ssif: Fix kernel panic at msg_done_handler
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This happens when BMC doesn't return any data and the code is trying
to print the value of data[2].

Getting following crash:

Adding a check to validate the data len before printing data[2] to fix this issue.
