Subject[PATCH v2 1/3] dt-bindings: ipmi: aspeed: Introduce a v2 binding for KCS
Date
The v2 binding utilises reg and renames some of the v1 properties.

v2: Rename slave-reg to aspeed,lpc-io-reg

Rob: After our discussion about the name of 'slave-reg' on v1 I've thought
about it some more and have landed on aspeed,lpc-io-reg. In v1 I argued that
the name should be generic and you suggested that if so it should go in a
generic binding document - I've thought about this some more and concluded that
it was hard to pin down exactly where it should be documented if it were
generic (the generic ASPEED LPC binding is one place, but that would suggest
that the property is still ASPEED-specific; maybe some discussion with
Nuvoton might give some insight).

Regardless, it turns out that the address specification is really
ASPEED-specific in this case: The KCS host interface in the LPC IO space
consists of a data and status register, but the slave controller infers the
address of the second from the address of the first and thus only the address
of the first can be programmed on the BMC-side. ASPEED supply documentation
that maps the LPC-side register layout for given LPC IO base addresses. I think
this is esoteric enough to warrant the aspeed prefix.

The Aspeed SOCs (AST2400 and AST2500) are commonly used as BMCs
(Baseboard Management Controllers) and the KCS interface can be
used to perform in-band IPMI communication with their host.
