I dunno. The text talks about "this" being a cpld, so at best it would
have to be connected to an arm SoC that's on the x86 platform's board,
acting as a BMC or something similar.
Unless by "this" you don't mean the device in the binding, but rather
the platform that the device in the binding is connected to.

I've kept this in my mailbox for the last month, because I was wondering
the same thing as Rob, and there's been no engagement from the submitter
at all. I don't think that that should be rewarded by trying to give the
benefit of the doubt.
