This provides access to the management controllers on an IPMB bus to a
device sitting on the IPMB bus.  It also provides slave capability to
respond to received messages on the bus.

kcs_bmc_serio acts as a bridge between the KCS drivers in the IPMI
subsystem and the existing userspace interfaces available through the
serio subsystem. This is useful when userspace would like to make use of
the BMC KCS devices for purposes that aren't IPMI.

Now that we have untangled the data-structures, split the userspace
interface out into its own module. Userspace interfaces and drivers are
registered to the KCS BMC core to support arbitrary binding of either.

<content type='text'>
Take steps towards defining a coherent API to separate the KCS device
drivers from the userspace interface. Decreasing the coupling will
improve the separation of concerns and enable the introduction of
alternative userspace interfaces.

For now, simply split the chardev logic out to a separate file. The code
continues to build into the same module.

It was being done in two different places now that hard-coded devices
use platform devices, and it's about to be three with hotmod switching
to platform devices.  So put the code in one place.

This required some rework on some interfaces to make the type space
clean.

This driver exposes the Keyboard Controller Style (KCS) interface on
Novoton NPCM7xx SoCs as a character device. Such SOCs are commonly used
as a BaseBoard Management Controller (BMC) on a server board, and KCS
interface is commonly used to perform the in-band IPMI communication
between the server and its BMC.

The KCS (Keyboard Controller Style) interface is used to perform in-band
IPMI communication between a server host and its BMC (BaseBoard Management
Controllers).

This driver exposes the KCS interface on ASpeed SOCs (AST2400 and AST2500)
as a character device. Such SOCs are commonly used as BMCs and this driver
implements the BMC side of the KCS interface.

Pull IPMI updates from Corey Minyard:
 "This is a fairly large rework of the IPMI code, along with a bunch of
  smaller fixes. The major changes have been in the next tree for a
  couple of months, so they should be good to do in.

   - Some users had IPMI systems where the GUID of the IPMI controller
     could change. So rescanning of the GUID was added. The naming of
     some sysfs things was dependent on the GUID, however, so this
     resulted in the sysfs interface code in IPMI changing to remove
     that dependency and name the IPMI BMCs like other sysfs devices.

   - The ipmi_si_intf.c code was fairly bloated with all the different
     discovery methods (PCI, ACPI, SMBIOS, OF, platform, module
     parameters, hot add). The structure of how the interfaces were
     added was redone to make them more modular, then the individual
     methods were pulled out into their own files"
