I have a similar patch in my local tree, and the reason being: AST2600
I2C Controller may set I2CD10[25:24] to report Current Slave Parking
Status (defined in new register I2CS24) even though the new register
mode is off. The 2 bits can be ignored in legacy mode, and Ryan from
ASPEED could confirm it.


Cheers,

Tao
