Hi Andrew,

Thanks, that helps. I also found one more issue in v5 (uart-routing 
issue), so I'll send a v6 with the fuller descriptions below
instead of having you edit them. Please hold off applying v5.

AVCRP is an Intel x86 server platform. The BMC is an ASPEED 
AST2600-based RunBMC module on the platform's DC-SCM. It supports the 
platform's out-of-band management and exposes board management I/O such 
as the system UARTs, status LEDs and control buttons, while integrating 
with the host's telemetry and management infrastructure.

JNCRP is an Intel x86 server platform managed by an ASPEED AST2600 BMC.
The BMC is the platform management controller for the host system and 
supports platform power and reset control, while participating in 
out-of-band monitoring and reporting for host faults during bring-up and 
normal operation.

Does this shape work for you?

Best regards,
Dawid
