system power control

[Zhao Kun]

Thank you, Jason. Could you share with me any example of defining those GPIOs in device tree for x86-power-control? I can’t find any in aspeed-bmc-intel-s2600wf.dts.



Thanks.

Best regards,

Kun Zhao

On Intel reference platforms, we use x86-power-control and configure the
GPIO names using device tree.
