Huawei BMA: Adding Huawei BMA driver: host_cdev_drv
driver inclusion category: feature bugzilla: 34535 CVE: NA The BMA software is a system management software offered by Huawei. It supports the status monitoring, performance monitoring, and event monitoring of various components, including server CPUs, memory, hard disks, NICs, IB cards, PCIe cards, RAID controller cards, and optical modules. This host_cdev_drv driver is one of the communication driver used by BMA software. It depends on the host_edma_drv driver. The host_cdev_drv driver will create 4 char devices(hwbmc0, hwbmc1, hwbmc2, hwbmc3) once loaded. These char devices offer interfaces, including open, close, read, write and poll, to upper level applications. BMA uses them to send/receive ipmi commons to/from BMC.
