[PATCH 3/4] dt-bindings: ipmi: Add optional LPC properties to ASPEED BT devices

From: Yu-Che Hsieh via B4 Relay

Date: Mon Jun 29 2026 - 02:52:59 EST


From: Yu-Che Hsieh <yc_hsieh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Allocating IO and IRQ resources to LPC devices is in-theory an operation

for the host, however ASPEED systems describe these resources through

BMC-internal configuration, as already supported by the ASPEED KCS BMC

binding.

Add aspeed,lpc-io-reg and aspeed,lpc-interrupts to the ASPEED BT BMC

binding so firmware can describe the host LPC IO address and SerIRQ

configuration using the same properties as KCS devices.
