This patch set adds BIOS Post code (BPC) support for the
Nuvoton NPCM7xx Baseboard Management Controller (BMC).
Nuvoton BMC NPCM7xx BIOS Post Code (BPC) monitoring two
configurable I/O addresses written by the host on the
Low Pin Count (LPC) bus, the capure data stored in 128-word FIFO.
NPCM7xx BPC can support capture double words.
I have created new folder (bmc) in the documentation/devicetree/binding
for BMC miscellaneous modules that are not represented in the
binding folder.
The NPCM7xx BPC driver tested on NPCM750 evaluation board.

So uncovering a bit of a dirty secret here, we should probably consider this in the context of the ASPEED snoop function. A driver snuck into the misc tree without an associated bindings document:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/misc/aspeed-lpc-snoop.c
(it wasn't me, I'm happy to discuss my proposed bindings, please don't shoot the messenger :))
The devicetree node looks something like:
lpc_snoop: lpc-snoop@0 {
compatible = "aspeed,ast2500-lpc-snoop";
reg = <0x0 0x80>;
interrupts = <8>;
status = "disabled";
};
and also has a required "snoop-ports" property with at least one and up to two cells that describe the channels to snoop. Channel values are either 0 or 1. It's feasible that the double-word capture could also be supported as both supported channels have their data captured in different fields of the same register.
Do we go with what's already in the tree in supporting 'snoop-ports' or keep 'monitor-ports' as proposed by Tomer?

It would be great to get someone else who knows that this hardware is
supposed to be doing to ack or sign-off on this patch, as I don't know
if this really is providing the correct api for it or not.
Right now it's just reading data from the hardware, what good is that?
Who uses this? What userspace tools connect up to it?
