[PATCH v3 00/16] ipmi: Allow raw access to KCS devices

Hello,

This is the 3rd spin of the series refactoring the keyboard-controller-style
device drivers in the IPMI subsystem.

v2 can be found (in two parts because yay patch workflow mistakes) at:

Cover letter:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20210319061952.145040-1-andrew@aj.id.au/

Patches:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20210319062752.145730-1-andrew@aj.id.au/

Several significant changes in v3:

1. The series is rebased onto v5.13-rc1

2. v5.13-rc1 includes Chiawei's patches reworking the LPC devicetree bindings,
   so they're no-longer required in the series.

3. After some discussion with Arnd[1] and investigating the serio subsystem,
   I've replaced the "raw" KCS driver (patch 16/21 in v2) with a serio adaptor
   (patch 11/16 in this series). The adaptor allows us to take advantage of the
   existing chardevs provided by serio.

Finally, I've also addressed Zev Weiss' review comments where I thought it was
required. These comments covered a lot of minor issues across (almost) all the
patches, so it's best to review from a clean slate rather than attempt to review
the differences between spins.

Previously:

Changes in v2 include:

* A rebase onto v5.12-rc2
* Incorporation of off-list feedback on SerIRQ configuration from
  Chiawei
* Further validation on hardware for ASPEED KCS devices 2, 3 and 4
* Lifting the existing single-open constraint of the IPMI chardev
* Fixes addressing Rob's feedback on the conversion of the ASPEED KCS
  binding to dt-schema
* Fixes addressing Rob's feedback on the new aspeed,lpc-interrupts
  property definition for the ASPEED KCS binding

Please test and review!
