A small subset of pins and functions are exposed. The selection of pins
and functions is driven by the development of OpenBMC[1] on the
AST2500 SoC, particularly around booting the IBM Witherspoon platform.

The Aspeed SoCs typically provide more than 200 pins for GPIO and other
functions. The signal enabled on a pin is determined on a priority
basis, where a given pin can provide a number of different signal types.
In addition to the priority levels, the Aspeed pin controllers describe
the signal active on a pin by compound logical expressions involving
multiple operators, registers and bits. Some difficulty arises as a
pin's function bit masks for each priority level are frequently not the
same (i.e. we cannot just flip a bit to change from a high to low
priority signal), or even in the same register(s). Some configuration
bits affect multiple pins, while in other cases the signals for a bus
must each be enabled individually.
Together, these features give rise to some complexity in the
implementation. A more complete description of the complexities is
provided in the associated header file.
The patch doesn't implement pinctrl/pinmux/pinconf for any particular
Aspeed SoC, rather it adds the framework for defining pinmux
configurations.
