Re: [PATCH 3/4] drivers/misc: Add ASpeed LPC control driver

This driver exposes a reserved chunk of BMC ram to userspace as well as
an ioctl interface to control the BMC<->HOST mapping of the LPC bus.
This allows for a communication channel between the BMC and the host

Why not make this a UIO driver?  Why does it have to be a character
device?

thanks,
