[PATCH] IPMI: return correct value from ipmi_write
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This patch corrects the handling of write operations to the IPMI watchdog
to work as intended by returning the number of characters actually
processed. Without this patch, an "echo V >/dev/watchdog" enables the
watchdog if IPMI is providing the watchdog function.
