[Impact]
System fails to do system suspend because of a non-working Realtek IPMI
device.

[Fix]
Quote from the patch:
"
Realtek has some sort of "Virtual" IPMI device on the PCI bus as a
KCS controller, but whatever it is, it's not one. Ignore it if seen.
"

[Test]
System suspend works after blacklisting the device.

[Regression Potential]
None. The driver has never worked for the device.
