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.
