        You still need to check the message length and checksum, you just need
        to ignore the req/resp bit.
    Yes you are right, I was looking for checksum code after removing it __. I will modify it.
    
    Besides Corey's comment, looks good to me. The logic should be something like this:
    static bool is_ipmb_msg(struct ipmb_dev *ipmb_dev, u8 rs_sa)
     {
             if (ipmb_dev->msg_idx >= IPMB_REQUEST_LEN_MIN) {
                     if (ipmb_verify_checksum1(ipmb_dev, rs_sa))
                             return false;
             } else {
                     return false;
             }
             return true;
    }

    Keep this line.
