[RFC PATCH linux dev-4.7 0/6] iBT interface changes

[Cédric Le Goater]

Hello,

This patchset introduces a couple of changes on the driver for the iBT
interface on Aspeed SOCs. These were suggested by mainline and have
some conficts with the OpenBMC userspace. The most important are name
changes, which impact the btbridge daemon, but nothing is requiring a
redesign of the stack.

The previous driver is reverted and and reincluded in its mainline
form. So you should mostly check patch 4 and quickly 5,6. The merge
in openbmc kernel can wait mainline's green light I think. 

You can find the btbridge changes:

Thanks,

C.
