Jae Hyun Yoo 002c42d37e dt-bindings: ipmi: bt-bmc: add 'clocks' as a required property
If LPC BT driver is registered ahead of lpc-ctrl module, LPC BT
hardware block will be enabled without heart beating of LCLK until
lpc-ctrl enables the LCLK. This issue causes improper handling on
host interrupts when the host sends interrupts in that time frame.
Then kernel eventually forcibly disables the interrupt with
dumping stack and printing a 'nobody cared this irq' message out.

To prevent this issue, all LPC sub drivers should enable LCLK
individually so this patch adds 'clocks' property as one of
required properties to enable the LCLK by the LPC IBT driver.

Note: dtsi change in this patch series should be applied along with,
and dtbs should be re-compiled after applying this series since
it's adding a new required property otherwise the driver will not
be probed correctly.

* Aspeed BT (Block Transfer) IPMI interface
The Aspeed SOCs (AST2400 and AST2500) are commonly used as BMCs
(BaseBoard Management Controllers) and the BT interface can be used to
perform in-band IPMI communication with their host.
Required properties:
- compatible : should be one of
"aspeed,ast2400-ibt-bmc"
"aspeed,ast2500-ibt-bmc"
"aspeed,ast2600-ibt-bmc"
- reg: physical address and size of the registers
- clocks: clock for the device
Optional properties:
- interrupts: interrupt generated by the BT interface. without an
interrupt, the driver will operate in poll mode.
Example:
ibt@1e789140 {
compatible = "aspeed,ast2400-ibt-bmc";
reg = <0x1e789140 0x18>;
interrupts = <8>;
clocks = <&syscon ASPEED_CLK_GATE_LCLK>;
};
