Why not aspeed,lpc-io-reg like the KCS binding?

There are some things we can do to improve it, but we shouldn't go and invent something different. I prefer aspeed,lpc-io-reg because it's name derives from the generic 'reg' property as does it's behaviour (if you assume a related `#size-cells = 0`).

Why not aspeed,lpc-interrupts like the KCS binding?

The generic IRQ property is 'interrupts', so like aspeed,lpc-io-reg the interrupts proposal for KCS follows in name and form. I'm hiding it behind the aspeed vendor prefix for now while I'm not satisfied that I understand the requirements of non-aspeed parts. Similarly, I added the lpc prefix because we don't tend to describe the host devicetree in the BMC devicetree (and so there's no parent interrupt controller that we can reference via a phandle) and we need a way to differentiate from the local interrupts property.

I don't see a reason for either of them to differ from what we already have for KCS, and I don't see any reason to continue the sysfs naming scheme in the binding.

Eventually I want to distil an LPC peripheral binding schema from what we've developed for the peripherals supported by aspeed and nuvoton SoCs.

Cheers,

Andrew
