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.

The ASPEED AST2600 has 2 VUART accessible over PCI.
This boolean can be set to specify if the VUART is used over PCI.

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.
