Actually, it needed a few more tweaks.  Can you do change
426fa6179dae677134dfb37b21d057819418515b
instead?  It's "ipmi: Fix some error cleanup issues"

I can send you patches, if you like.  If you could test and get back
to me, that would be great.

BTW, the IPMI setup in your system is incorrect.  SMBIOS says it's at a
memory address, but it's at an I/O address.  And the address given
doesn't appear to be a valid address, the value read doesn't appear
to be a valid value.
