Thanks for checking - but I think we've conflated two issues here.
The issue freeipmi-tools fixes is unrelated to this bug. When I
mentioned that on IRC, it was a request to see if we could get that
into MAAS CI for regression testing across other platforms. It fixes
an issue for us, and I've regression tested it on 1 x86 system, but
more platform exposure before it hits -updates wouldn't hurt.

I've shown that the kernel debs have this driver in Comment #8, and I
validated that the driver DTRT when I verified the kernel SRU that
added it, so I'm not sure what more to ask of the kernel team. Again,
my theory is that modules are being stripped out during the ephemeral
image build, so I'd suggest forwarding on to whatever team generates
those these days.
