I reviewed the patchset, focusing in the difference with v3 and it looks 
good to me. I've probably lost any critical thinking by now :)

> The series is divided as follows:
> 
>   - Patches 1-3: general refactoring
> 
>     Add various structs and fields we'll need later.
> 
>   - Patches 4-5: setting up the NPU
> 
>     At present, we're doing NPU configuration separately from the existing
>     NVLink code. At a later point, we intend to rework this to make it
>     possible to support both NVLink and OpenCAPI links on the same NPU.
> 
>   - Patches 6-7: training links and creating OpenCAPI PHBs
> 
>     Unlike NVLink, which presents a single PHB to represent the entire NPU,
>     we present a single PHB per device/link. This is necessary due to
>     limitations in MMIO window allocation. Unfortunately this makes the
>     structures we share with NVLink a little more complex, oh well.
> 
>   - Patch 8: OPAL API calls
> 
>     We define three new API calls for handling the Shared Process Area and
>     setting OpenCAPI TL template capabilities.
> 
>   - Patch 9: platform support
> 
>     See below.
> 
>   - Patch 10: device tree documentation
> 
> Notable limitations:
> 
>   - We only support the zaius platform for now. We'll be adding ZZ after a bit
>     more testing booting ZZs with hostboot rather than BML. Witherspoon
>     support will come at a later point.
> 
>   - No mixing of OpenCAPI and NVLink devices on the same NPU. This will come in a
>     later series. The only platform this currently impacts is Witherspoon.
> 
>   - No support for link ganging - there are also no OpenCAPI devices that support
>     link ganging yet, so this will come when we get to it...
> 
>   - Link information is hardcoded per platform, and we don't have any form of
>     presence detection apart from failing to train the link. Eventually, this
>     will be detected via I2C once Hostboot adds the relevant link info to HDAT.
> 
>   - No LPC memory - this will come in a later patch once we've done a bit more
>     testing internally.
> 
>   - No link reset functionality - this will come in a later patch.
> 
> This series has been tested on a Zaius. I've also tested it on a
> GPU-equipped Witherspoon to ensure it doesn't break NVLink.

> Thanks to everyone who's helped us with this, especially to Alistair Popple for
> his advice on NVLink, and to the OpenCAPI hardware teams in Austin and
> Rochester who provided us with a lot of vital assistance.
