ipmi fru info for pnor version, missing capp-ucode version.

How to reproduce: Build a habanero_update.pnor image using op-build master-next branch, Flash this image on OpenPower habanero machine. Read ipmitool fru print 43 for PNOR version info. ipmitool fru print 43 Product Name : OpenPOWER Firmware Product Version : open-power-habanero-6ec4e33 Product Extra : buildroot-d78ccc1 Product Extra : skiboot-5.2.1 Product Extra : hostboot-e189edd-9824b9f Product Extra : linux-4.4.8-openpower1-bd9161a Product Extra : petitboot-v1.0.1-8f13d5f Product Extra : habanero-xml-5a2a541-cb4e251 Product Extra : occ-19a3ebc Product Extra : hostboot-binaries-7f593a3 Product Extra : c

Try reading PNOR VERSION partition using ipmitool. ipmitool raw 0x3a 0x0b 0x56 0x45 0x52 0x53 0x49 0x4f 0x4e 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 | xxd -r -p open-power-habanero-6ec4e33 buildroot-d78ccc1 skiboot-5.2.1 hostboot-e189edd-9824b9f linux-4.4.8-openpower1-bd9161a petitboot-v1.0.1-8f13d5f habanero-xml-5a2a541-cb4e251 occ-19a3ebc hostboot-binaries-7f593a3 capp-ucode-105cb8f

We can observe from above two outputs, ipmitool fru print 43 is missing app-ucode-105cb8f which is a version of capp-ucode.

Now that the Linux and buildroot version was added, we do not have the space in the ipmi sensor to hold all of the version information, so it gets truncated. We made a decision on the order of the packages so that higher priority packages appeared first and capp-ucode was considered lower priority. We need to either revert to the old version behavior, which did not have Linux, buildroot, and Petitboot, or send this to the BMC to see if the sensor size can be increased. This is not a skiboot defect.
