Using mmap against aspeed-lpc-ctrl device - weird bytes :D

Just to give you some context snippets:
System DTS snippet:
reserved-memory {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
ranges;
lpc_mapped_memory: region at 98000000 {
no-map;
reg = <0x98000000 0x00800000>; /* 8MB */
};
};
&lpc_ctrl {
status = "okay";
memory-region = <&lpc_mapped_memory>;
flash = <&spi1>; // spi disabled, but needed for lpc_ctrl to probe
};
So, on the BMC, it receives the host's memory map address --> so it
can configure the window:
https://github.com/openbmc/phosphor-ipmi-flash/blob/master/lpc_aspeed.cpp#L42
Then the host tool, mmap's to the host set-aside address, 4KiB, and
tells the BMC to copy out the 4KiB:
https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz/c/openbmc/phosphor-ipmi-flash/+/17505
Keep in mind, previously this was working by the BMC opening /dev/mem
and mapping against lpc_mapped_memory -- but now we're opening
aspeed-lpc-ctrl. In the code above, regionAddress ==
lpc_mapped_memory, and regionSize is 64KiB.
Can you take a look to at least sanity check this?
It ends up copying out data that looks like this:
00000000 0a 00 01 00 0a 00 01 00 0a 00 01 00 0a 00 01 00 |................|
