The Aspeed SoCs have two BT interfaces : one is IPMI compliant and the
other is H8S/2168 compliant.
The current ipmi/bt-bmc driver implements the IPMI version and we
should reflect its nature in the compatible node name using
'aspeed,ast2400-ibt-bmc' instead of 'aspeed,ast2400-bt-bmc'. The
latter should be used for a H8S interface driver if it is implemented
one day.

This patch adds a simple device driver to expose the iBT interface on
Aspeed SOCs (AST2400 and AST2500) as a character device. Such SOCs are
commonly used as BMCs (BaseBoard Management Controllers) and this
driver implements the BMC side of the BT interface.
The BT (Block Transfer) interface is used to perform in-band IPMI
communication between a host and its BMC. Entire messages are buffered
before sending a notification to the other end, host or BMC, that
there is data to be read. Usually, the host emits requests and the BMC
responses but the specification provides a mean for the BMC to send
SMS Attention (BMC-to-Host attention or System Management Software
attention) messages.
For this purpose, the driver introduces a specific ioctl on the
device: 'BT_BMC_IOCTL_SMS_ATN' that can be used by the system running
on the BMC to signal the host of such an event.
The device name defaults to '/dev/ipmi-bt-host'

[clg: - checkpatch fixes
- added a devicetree binding documentation
- replace 'bt_host' by 'bt_bmc' to reflect that the driver is
the BMC side of the IPMI BT interface
- renamed the device to 'ipmi-bt-host'
- introduced a temporary buffer to copy_{to,from}_user
- used platform_get_irq()
- moved the driver under drivers/char/ipmi/ but kept it as a misc
device
- changed the compatible cell to "aspeed,ast2400-bt-bmc"
