Sort of... it does have a kind of memory mapped IO channel which
*could* be aliased to the LPC IO space though afaik, Aspeed just
aliases it to their internal bus which is a recipe for disaster when it
comes to security, so one should just disable it.

It's unfortunate, I don't see how you can access things like the legacy
UART, RTC etc... via eSPI. It looks like yet another crackpot invented
for SMM BIOS to get in the way and emulate everything. Yuck.
