skiboot-5.1.5 is the 6th stable release of 5.1, it follows skiboot-5.1.4

Skiboot 5.1.5 contains all fixes from skiboot-5.1.4 and is a minor bug
fix release.
Changes
^^^^^^^
Over skiboot-5.1.4, we have the following changes:
Generic
^^^^^^^
- centaur: Add indirect XSCOM support
Fixes a bug where opal-prd would not be able to recover from a bunch
of errors as the indirect XSCOMs to centaurs would fail.
- xscom: Fix logging of indirect XSCOM errors
Better logging of error messages.
- PHB3: Fix wrong PE number in error injection
- Improvement in boot_test.sh utility to support copying a pflash binary
to BMCs.
AST BMC machines
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- ipmi-sel: Run power action immediately if host not up
Our normal sequence for a soft power action (IPMI 'power soft' or
'power cycle') involve receiving a SEL from the BMC, sending a message
to Linux's opal platform support which instructs the host OS to shut
down, and finally the host will request OPAL to cut power.
When the host is not yet up we will send the message to /dev/null, and
no action will be taken. This patches changes that behaviour to perform
the action immediately if we know how.
OpenPower machines:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- opal-prd: Increase IPMI timeout to a slightly better value
Proactively bump the timeout to 5seconds to match current value in petitboot
Observed in the wild that this fixes bugs for petitboot.
