Some (relatively small) changes are going to be needed to adapt that driver to
changes that happened in PECI core.
I want to keep this series as small as possible, but once it gets merged,
Nuvoton driver can be added in a separate series.

I don't have any hardware to test it on so help will definitely be welcome :)
