SubjectRe: [PATCH] net/ncsi: Add Intel OS2BMC OEM command
Hello,

Can you please explain the rationale behind introducing this as a
compile-time kernel config option? I can probably imagine how this can
make sense as a DT switch (e.g. to describe hardware where there's no
other communication channel between the host and BMC) but even this
feels far-fetched.

Can you please outline some particular use cases for this feature?
