[edk2-devel] [PATCH edk2-platforms 00/10] MTCP-over-KCS support

["Konstantin Aladyshev" <aladyshev22@gmail.com>]

The Manageability KCS transport library needs to support requests both
from MCTP and IPMI transports. Currently the code only handles IPMI
case correctly.
In the MCTP case the communication should be based on the MCTP-over-KCS
specification (DSP0254). This specification defines a special KCS
binding header and trailer structures that need to be present in every
MCTP message.
The header structure contains a length field, therefore response packet
size is not needed to be known beforehand.
The trailer structure contains a PEC checksum that can be used to check
itegrity of the response message.
Modify Manageability KCS transport library code to check which message
is processed (IPMI or MCTP) and handle each case correctly based on its
own specification.
This patch is a result of a joint effort from the Konstantin Aladyshev
<aladyshev22@gmail.com> and Abner Chang <abner.chang@amd.com>.

Tested:
PLDM communication between the HOST and BMC was tested with both
components implemented via open-source software:
- The HOST (UEFI firmware) part was based one the edk2 [1] and
edk2-platforms [2] code,
- The BMC part was based on the openbmc [3] distribution.

The testing process and all the necessary utilities are described in
the [4] repository.

The provided changes keep IPMI over KCS stack working as reported by
Abner Chang.
