[PATCH] ipmi: kcs error0 delay
BMCs can get into ERROR0 state while flashing new firmware, particularly while
the BMC is erasing the next flash block, which may take a just under 2 seconds
on a Dell PowerEdge 2800 (1.75 seconds typical), during which time the
single-threaded firmware may not be able to process new commands. In
particular, clearing OBF may not take effect immediately.
We want it to delay in ERROR0 after clearing OBF a bit waiting for OBF to
actually be clear before proceeding.
This introduces a new return value from the LLDD's event loop,
SI_SM_CALL_WITH_TICK_DELAY. This means the calling thread/timer should
schedule_timeout() at least 1 tick, rather than busy-wait. This is a longer
delay than SI_SM_CALL_WITH_DELAY, which is typically a 250us busy-wait.
