Hence the accepted values should be 0x0 to 0x2. The BMC interface type field is at offset 0x4 which is being correctly tested for range 0x0 to 0x3 in the first line of this switch case block.

You are right, partially. 3 is not valid here, but 0 is, which you
didn't fix last time (and your commit message wasn't clear exactly about
what you were fixing).
I'll rework this series.
