No code yet. The README explains why one Redfish driver with vendor quirk modules beats a Supermicro-only IPMI driver, and keeps IPMI over LAN as a read-only fallback. docs/ holds a draft for a new ManagementController role base in napalm-device-types, the getter-to-resource map, the first test device (Supermicro X10DRL-i, Redfish firmware 3.91), the security points (IPMI RAKP hash disclosure, power control, credentials) and the test plan with DMTF mockups and fixtures to record.

Choosing between the thin redfish client and sushy is open. The thin client keeps
quirk handling in this driver; sushy brings an object model but also its own assumptions
about Ironic's needs.
