Bug Description
[Impact]
The command "ipmitool mc info" fails to recognize the Manufacturer ID for NVIDIA BMCs, causing it to report:
Manufacturer Name : Unknown
[Test Case]
On an NVIDIA system, such as a DGX-1 system, run "sudo ipmitool mc info" and look for:
Manufacturer Name : NVIDIA Corporation
[Regression Risk]
Adds a static entry to a lookup table. The biggest regression risk I see is if there are BMCs out there using NVIDIA's registered ID that aren't actually NVIDIA BMCs - ipmitool would now be reporting them incorrectly.
