Yes, FSP queues the messages, but will not be aware of when the response
received (it's asynchronous) so fsp-ipmi driver maintains the queue so that
it queues the next request only after the current completed.
Without the list, we might send multiple IPMI mbox commands for different
requests which FSP hardware doesn't expect.
Going through your other comments, will respond/fix.

Thanks,
Neelesh.
