Hi Iwona,

My name is Tomer I working as a SW engineer in Nuvoton BMC project.

First, thanks for upstreaming the PECI driver!

Nuvoton (NPCM) PECI driver was in the PECI patchset that has been
handheld by Jae.
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-arm-kernel/patch/20191211194624.2872-10-jae.hyun.yoo@linux.intel.com/

Could you add Nuvoton (NPCM) PECI driver to your patch set next time you
will send upstream patches to Linux vanilla?
If you agree, we will check your patchset in Nuvoton systems in a few days
and send you NPCM OECI driver and documentation.

Thanks,

Tomer
