    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;
}
