This is a v3 for upstreaming the VUART over PCIe BMC device driver.
The initial driver is from the ASPEED kernel SDK (master-v6.18) [1].

There are two drivers: a BMC-side driver and a host-side driver.
Together they enable host<->BMC VUART communication via PCIe.

The host cannot access the BMC's memory. Only the enabled features are
accessible. These are the KCS4 channel and 2 VUARTs. There is also some
mailbox register functionality also exist for a communication between
the host and the BMC. More information can be found here [2].

This v3 mainly modifies the BMC driver and focuses on VUART.
The BMC driver is now incorporated into the '8250_aspeed_vuart' driver.
A specific flag can be set to indicate that the VUART should be used
over PCI. Several changes have been made to the 8250 device tree binding
and the 'aspeed-g6.dtsi'.

Changes since v2 [3]:
- Add the aspeed,ast2600-vuart compatible entry to the '8250' DT binding
- Add the aspeed,ast2600-vuart compatible property in 'aspeed-g6.dtsi'
- Add the aspeed,vuart-over-pci boolean property to the '8250' DT binding,
  only for the aspeed,ast2600-vuart
- Add the aspeed,vuart-over-pci flag to the vuart3 and vuart4 
- Add the aspeed,ast2600-vuart compatible property to the 
  '8250_aspeed_vuart' driver
- Add the VUART over PCI code to the '8250_aspeed_vuart' driver
- The v2 review of the host-side BMC driver has been applied.

The host-side driver is still in /soc/aspeed/, as it is very specific to
this SoC for me. I didn't receive any feedback on where to put this
driver. I can, of course, change this to the relevant location.

It's important to consider that the host driver will do multiple
functions. The AST2600 also supports LPC over PCI, with a specific KCS
channel (KCS4). This driver should also be used to enable the IPMI
automatically via this KCS channel. The UART and the IPMI will depend on
the same PCI resource (BAR1), so this must be configured in one driver.

As with v2, VUART data flow and MSI interrupts have been verified 
working on the test hardware.

Tested on:
BMC:
- Asus IPMI Kommando Card R1.01, AST2600 A3.
- OpenBMC
Host:
- Linux kernel v7.0.0

This v3 only supports AST2600; the AST2700 is not supported by this series.

I would like to know whether I should add the 'lpc-io-reg' and
'lpc-interrupt' values to the vuart3 and vuart4 nodes directly in the
'aspeed-g6.dtsi'. The host driver is not capable of finding the vuart
address on his own, so they are hardcoded to 0x3f8 and 0x2f8. It will
not work with other adresses, so perhaps they should be in the .dtsi to
ensure the correct configuration for the 2 vuart over PCI.

For the interrupt number, my test is working with interrupt = 0
for vuart3 and interrupt = 1 for vuart4. I don't fully understand how
the silicon routes MSI numbers to the VUART but the following
combination is working :
       | host MSI idx | BMC lpc-interrupts |
VUART3 |      16      |       0            |
VUART4 |      17      |       1            |

The original ASPEED driver used MSI index 15 for the VUART4.
I tested every lpc-interrupts on the BMC from 0 to 15, but none of them
worked with the host MSI index set to 15.

For me, the silicon only routes the MSI index 16 to VUART3 and 17 to 
VUART4, and the lpc-interrupt needs to match the 4 least significant bits.
I might be wrong on this explanation but the data path is working with 
those numbers. There is no explanation for any of this in the datasheet.

The ast2600 was using the ast2500 vuart compatible string.
This change makes it possible to have ast2600-specific properties.

This patch enables the VUART over PCI possible for the AST2600. This is
only activated if the 'aspeed,vuart-over-pci' property flag is set on an
'ast2600-vuart' compatible node.

The AST2600 has 2 VUART that are usable over PCI. These are the VUART3
and VUART4 in the 'apseed-g6.dtsi'.

This code sets the BMC PCI device enables
bits, sets the PCI class code to MFD device and configures MSI interrupts.

There is no disable function. Removing this driver should not disable
the BMC PCI device, as other drivers could use it.
However, if all the drivers using it are removed, the
BMC PCI device will still be activated, which is not ideal. Realistically though, this is not a
use case for a BMC, the drivers will never be removed.

This is useful on PCIe BMC expansion cards that use the AST2600, such as the
ASUS Kommando IPMI Expansion Card.

Registers initialisation taken from ASPEED 6.18 Kernel SDK.
Return code checks were added to each register write.
The code has been simplified and macros have been added.

The ASPEED_SCUC24 regmap update is missing a macro for 'BIT(14)'. I was
unable to  determine the purpose of this bit. In the AST2600 A3
datasheet it is marked as 'reserved'. It is only used on the other
revision. As I only have the AST2600A3, I was unable to try this code
path.

Add support for VUART over PCIe between BMC and host.
This add host side driver.
This only support the AST2600.

Taken from ASPEED 6.18 Kernel SDK and trimmed down.

The host can't detect the VUART adresses, they are forced
at 0x3f8 and 0x2f8, similar from the initial ASPEED driver.

The MSI vector index has been changed for the VUART2 from 15 to 17.
The index 15 used in the initial driver was not working.

Data path in both direction is tested on both VUART.

Use the ast2600 compatible string.
This makes it more precise and enables specific ast2600 properties.
Still use the ast2500 compatible string as a fallback.

The VUART 3 and 4 are VUART over PCI.
This flag indicates this information.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Low] The newly introduced compatible string `aspeed,ast2600-vuart` is missing from the top-level `properties: compatible: oneOf:` allowed list. While it was correctly added to the `allOf` conditional blocks, its absence from the main enumeration will cause device tree schema validation (`dt_binding_check` and `dtbs_check`) to fail for any device tree node utilizing this compatible string.

commit 6f7f111bc5bb5cca5a6591d60c1457c4bf00cb3e
Author: Grégoire Layet <gregoire.layet@9elements.com>

dt-bindings: serial: 8250: aspeed: add compatible string for ast2600

The ast2600 was using the ast2500 vuart compatible string.
This change makes it possible to have ast2600-specific properties.

[Severity: Low]
Does this compatible string also need to be added to the top-level properties
enumeration?

While it is added here in the allOf conditional block, it appears to be missing
from the main allowed list, which currently looks like this:

properties:
  compatible:
    oneOf:
      - const: ns8250
      - const: ns16450
      - const: ns16550
      - const: ns16550a
      - const: ns16850
      - const: aspeed,ast2400-vuart
      - const: aspeed,ast2500-vuart

Will this omission cause a regression during device tree schema validation
for device trees using the new aspeed,ast2600-vuart compatible string?

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Modifying a shared static global array on IRQ allocation fallback permanently corrupts the driver state for all subsequent devices and creates a data race.
- [High] The driver mishandles `pci_alloc_irq_vectors()` return values, leading to silent probe successes with invalid IRQs or out-of-bounds vector accesses that trigger kernel warnings.
- [Medium] Truncation of a 64-bit PCI physical address due to storing it in an `unsigned long` on 32-bit architectures.

[Severity: Medium]
Does storing the BAR address in an unsigned long truncate 64-bit physical
addresses on 32-bit architectures with PAE/LPAE?

pci_resource_start() returns a resource_size_t, which could be 64-bit,
potentially leading to incorrect I/O memory mapping here.

[Severity: High]
Can this condition mishandle partial allocations and negative error codes?

If pci_alloc_irq_vectors() partially succeeds and returns a value between
2 and 16, the <= 1 check evaluates to false. This leaves the indices at 16
and 17, but pci_irq_vector() will later trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE out-of-bounds
check in the PCI core when it tries to access index 16.

Additionally, if it fails entirely and returns a negative error, the check
passes, but the probe doesn't abort. Does this result in silently registering
the 8250 UART with an invalid IRQ?

> +		/* If pci_alloc fail, set all msi index to the first vector */
> +		memset(pci_bmc_dev->msi_idx_table, 0, sizeof(vuart_msi_index));

[Severity: High]
Does this memset corrupt the driver state for all subsequent instances?

Because pci_bmc_dev->msi_idx_table points directly to the static global array
vuart_msi_index, writing zeroes here permanently overwrites the shared array.

If multiple ASPEED PCI devices are probed, or if the device is probed again
later, will the indices be permanently stuck at 0?

    serial: 8250_aspeed_vuart: add VUART over PCI

This commit adds support for VUART over PCI on the AST2600 platform. It
configures the BMC PCI device enables, sets the PCI class code to MFD, and
configures MSI interrupts based on the silicon revision.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this break if any clock multiplexer or intermediate clock controller is
inserted between the SCU and the VUART?

This code uses syscon_regmap_lookup_by_phandle() to fetch the SCU regmap by
parsing the "clocks" property. While this may happen to work if the SCU is
the direct clock provider, does this conflate the clock provider bindings
with syscon mappings?

Is it safe to write BIT(14) into ASPEED_SCUC24 when it is undocumented and

The comment indicates the bit's purpose is unknown and this revision is
untested. Can setting this undocumented, reserved bit trigger unpredictable

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but can concurrent access
clobber register modifications?

Functions like aspeed_vuart_set_host_tx_discard() and
aspeed_vuart_set_sirq_polarity() perform read-modify-write operations on
ASPEED_VUART_GCRA. Does a concurrent sysfs write and TTY port open/close
cause a race condition here, since these are invoked from contexts with
different locks (or no locks)?

>  	platform_set_drvdata(pdev, vuart);

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but does the delay in calling
platform_set_drvdata() expose userspace to a null pointer dereference?

In aspeed_vuart_probe(), sysfs_create_group() is called very early.
If a concurrent userspace process reads the sysfs files, invoking
lpc_address_show() before platform_set_drvdata() is called here, it will
retrieve a null pointer and immediately dereference it.

[Severity: High]
Does this direct return bypass necessary cleanup logic and leave the
hardware enabled?

By returning rc directly instead of jumping to a cleanup label, the sysfs
group aspeed_vuart_attr_group is leaked. Furthermore, does this bypass
unregistering the 8250 port and leave the VUART active despite probe
failure, since aspeed_vuart_set_enabled(vuart, true) was called earlier?

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but does this error path lead
to a use-after-free?

The err_sysfs_remove block cleans up sysfs attributes but entirely omits
calling serial8250_unregister_port() and timer_delete_sync(). Because the
driver uses devres, the vuart structure will be freed upon probe failure.
Since the port remains actively registered, any subsequent access to the
port via TTY operations will dereference this freed memory.

[Severity: High]
Does the AST2600 PCI initialization logic bypass the error handling labels
in aspeed_vuart_probe()?

If aspeed_ast2600_vuart_over_pci_set_enabled() fails, the code returns
directly:

drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_aspeed_vuart.c:aspeed_vuart_probe() {
    ...
    if (of_device_is_compatible(dev->of_node, "aspeed,ast2600-vuart") &&
        of_property_read_bool(dev->of_node, "aspeed,vuart-over-pci")) {
        rc = aspeed_ast2600_vuart_over_pci_set_enabled(pdev);
        if (rc) {
            dev_err(dev, "could not enable VUART over PCI\n");
            return rc;
        }
    }
    return 0;

err_sysfs_remove:
    sysfs_remove_group(&vuart->dev->kobj, &aspeed_vuart_attr_group);
    return rc;
}

This direct return bypasses the err_sysfs_remove cleanup label, which would
leave the sysfs group leaked and the UART port and timer active with
pointers to the devm-freed vuart structure.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but does aspeed_vuart_probe()
leak resources and cause a use-after-free on other error paths?

If the probe fails and jumps to err_sysfs_remove, it removes the sysfs
group but fails to call serial8250_unregister_port() or timer_delete_sync():

drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_aspeed_vuart.c:aspeed_vuart_probe() {
    ...
    rc = serial8250_register_8250_port(&port);
    ...
err_sysfs_remove:
    sysfs_remove_group(&vuart->dev->kobj, &aspeed_vuart_attr_group);
    return rc;
}

Because vuart is devm-allocated, it will be freed upon probe failure,
leaving the UART port registered with private_data pointing to freed memory.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but are the sysfs attributes exposed too
early in probe() and removed too late in remove()?

In aspeed_vuart_probe(), sysfs_create_group() is called before the
driver data is set via platform_set_drvdata():

drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_aspeed_vuart.c:aspeed_vuart_probe() {
    ...
    rc = sysfs_create_group(&vuart->dev->kobj, &aspeed_vuart_attr_group);
    ...
    platform_set_drvdata(pdev, vuart);
    ...
}

If userspace reads attributes like lpc_address during this window,
dev_get_drvdata() returns NULL which is then dereferenced in the callback.

Additionally, in aspeed_vuart_remove(), sysfs_remove_group() is called
after serial8250_unregister_port():

drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_aspeed_vuart.c:aspeed_vuart_remove() {
    ...
    serial8250_unregister_port(vuart->line);
    sysfs_remove_group(&vuart->dev->kobj, &aspeed_vuart_attr_group);
}

Because unregistering the port calls iounmap(), any concurrent sysfs access
in this window could access unmapped I/O memory.

[Severity: High]
This is also a pre-existing issue, but does aspeed_vuart_remove() delete
the unthrottle timer before disabling the interrupt source that re-arms it?

drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_aspeed_vuart.c:aspeed_vuart_remove() {
    ...
    timer_delete_sync(&vuart->unthrottle_timer);
    aspeed_vuart_set_enabled(vuart, false);
    serial8250_unregister_port(vuart->line);
    ...
}

At the point timer_delete_sync() is called, the UART port is still active.
If an RX interrupt triggers concurrently, aspeed_vuart_handle_irq() can
call mod_timer() and re-arm it. The re-armed timer could then fire after
the devm-allocated vuart structure is freed.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this pass device tree schema validation (dtbs_check)? The binding in
8250.yaml defines the compatible property as anyOf with single const strings,
meaning it expects exactly one of those strings. The device tree uses an array
of two strings. Should the schema be updated with an items array definition to
accept this combination?

[Severity: High]
Does this code inadvertently corrupt global state for all driver instances?
Since pci_bmc_dev->msi_idx_table points to vuart_msi_index (a static global
array), calling memset on it will permanently zero out the MSI indices
system-wide if any device fails to allocate multiple MSI vectors.

Also, does the threshold check protect against partial allocations falling
short of index 17?

If pci_alloc_irq_vectors() successfully allocates an intermediate number of
vectors (e.g., 4 or 8), the '<= 1' check evaluates to false. The driver
retains indices 16 and 17 and attempts to fetch them via pci_irq_vector()
below, which triggers an out-of-bounds warning and returns -EINVAL.

[Severity: High]
If a partial allocation leaves us with fewer vectors than the index stored in
msi_idx_table[idx], pci_irq_vector() returns a negative error code like
-EINVAL. Could this error code be incorrectly passed as the IRQ number here,
causing interrupt registration to fail later?

[Severity: Medium]
Is it semantically correct to use the "clocks" property as a syscon phandle?
The "clocks" property specifies clock providers and specifiers, not raw syscon
phandles. Piggybacking on this to extract a syscon regmap leverages an
implementation detail of syscon_regmap_lookup_by_phandle() and violates
device tree semantics.

[Severity: High]
Does returning directly here skip probe cleanup? Bypassing the err_sysfs_remove
label leaves sysfs groups, timers, and the 8250 serial port registered while
devres frees the underlying vuart structure. Does this leak the sysfs groups
and timers, and potentially cause a use-after-free if the 8250 core accesses
the unregistered port?

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but does the err_sysfs_remove path
fail to unregister the 8250 port? If probe fails after port registration,
serial8250_unregister_port() is missed. The 8250 core will later dereference
the freed vuart pointer via port.private_data, causing a use-after-free.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:

New issues:
- [Low] Adding `aspeed,vuart-over-pci` to nodes with multiple compatible strings violates the `const` constraint in the YAML binding, causing a schema validation failure.

Pre-existing issues:
- [High] Probe error paths fail to unregister the 8250 port and remove the sysfs group, resulting in a use-after-free of the devm-allocated driver state and resource leaks.

    ARM: dts: aspeed: g6: add aspeed,vuart-over-pci prop to vuart3 and 4
    
    The VUART 3 and 4 are VUART over PCI.
    This flag indicates this information.

[Severity: Low]
Does adding this property cause a device tree schema validation failure?

Looking at Documentation/devicetree/bindings/serial/8250.yaml, the schema
restricts the compatible property to a single string when
aspeed,vuart-over-pci is present:

        compatible:
          const: aspeed,ast2600-vuart

Since the vuart3 node uses multiple compatible strings
("aspeed,ast2600-vuart", "aspeed,ast2500-vuart"), does this violate the
constraint and cause dtbs_check to fail?

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but adding this property appears
to trigger a pre-existing resource leak and use-after-free in the driver's
error path.

In drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_aspeed_vuart.c, if
aspeed_ast2600_vuart_over_pci_set_enabled() fails during
aspeed_vuart_probe(), the function returns directly:

        rc = aspeed_ast2600_vuart_over_pci_set_enabled(pdev);
        if (rc) {
                dev_err(dev, "could not enable VUART over PCI\n");
                return rc;
        }

Does this bypass calling serial8250_unregister_port() and
sysfs_remove_group() after a successful serial8250_register_8250_port()?
Since the devm-allocated driver state is freed on probe failure, does the
UART core retain a registered port pointing to freed memory?
