I briefly studied driver/soc/aspeed/aspeed-lpc-ctrl.c, and IMO the
similarity between HPE GXP driver and Aspeed's could be that we both
expose the LPC memory addresses or registers for configuration purposes.
However, the functions to be configured could vary. There are a few sets
of registers that HPE wants to expose for configuration in the future.

So, do you think there could be some common grounds for genralization?
Please let me know if you need more information.

Thanks,
Clay
