Anyone seen this error on em ?

[Jack Vogel]

Just so people understand,  you can try this change and if it
eliminates the init failure then use it temporarily.

What the code is, is a way that the driver and BMC have
agreed to use to keep out of eachother's way, but at the
moment the code is flawed, its being actively worked and
I expect new shared code soon.

If you disable the BMC, by the way, you should not see this
error or need this change.
