If you think the bmc-misc-ctrl series is useful, please reply to the
upstream thread to outline all of your use-cases. There's a lot of push-
back on using the devicetree to describe these features, and I haven't
had a lot of feedback on the acceptability of the rest (driver itself,
userspace ABI).

The more evidence we have of this being necessary/useful the better.

Cheers,

Andrew
