Currently, interface-management code in the ipmitool does not allow safe
interface re-opening (i.e. closing and opening again). It is because the session
is allocated in the interface setup callback while is freed in the close
callback. So, normal re-opening of the interface, which can be required for
example durng the HPM.1 upgrade, leads to segmentation fault. That's why in the
ipmi_hpmfwupg.c instead of normal closing interface, directly access the
interface data for subsequent re-opening.

From the ticket:
(v1.8.12) "dcmi power set_limit action <value>" (where <value> is either
"sel_logging" or "power_off") does not actually send the "Set Power Limit"
command (so no change to the power limit policy is made).
This was caused by all atoi(), strtol(), strtoul() calls being replaced. This
patch should fix it.
