No, it's not a SPI nor an I2C bus. I actually would say that my idea is
generally wrong, as the ACPI definition is not a real reflection of the
bus/slave.

However, Rafael did suggest extending special I2C/SPI handling to them.
In this case, I don't see how the LPC slave can be identified like an
I2C or SPI slave is.

Thanks,
