Merge tag 'for-linus-4.18' of git://github.com/cminyard/linux-ipmi

Pull IPMI updates from Corey Minyard:
 "It's been a busy release for the IPMI driver. Some notable changes:

   - A user was running into timeout issues doing maintenance commands
     over the IPMB network behind an IPMI controller.

     Extend the maintenance mode concept to messages over IPMB and allow
     the timeouts to be tuned.

   - Lots of cleanup, style fixing, some bugfixes, and such.

   - At least one user was having trouble with the way the IPMI driver
     would lock the i2c driver module it used.

     The IPMI driver was not designed for hotplug. However, hotplug is a
     reality now, so the IPMI driver was modified to support hotplug.

   - The proc interface code is now completely removed. Long live sysfs!"

+* Nuvoton NPCM7xx KCS (Keyboard Controller Style) IPMI interface
+
+The Nuvoton SOCs (NPCM7xx) are commonly used as BMCs
+(Baseboard Management Controllers) and the KCS interface can be
+used to perform in-band IPMI communication with their host.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : should be one of
+    "nuvoton,npcm750-kcs-bmc"
+- interrupts : interrupt generated by the controller
+- kcs_chan : The KCS channel number in the controller
+
+Example:
+
+    lpc_kcs: lpc_kcs@f0007000 {
+        compatible = "nuvoton,npcm750-lpc-kcs", "simple-mfd", "syscon";
+        reg = <0xf0007000 0x40>;
+        reg-io-width = <1>;
+
+        #address-cells = <1>;
+        #size-cells = <1>;
+        ranges = <0x0 0xf0007000 0x40>;
+
+        kcs1: kcs1@0 {
+            compatible = "nuvoton,npcm750-kcs-bmc";
+            reg = <0x0 0x40>;
+            interrupts = <0 9 4>;
+            kcs_chan = <1>;
+            status = "disabled";
+        };
+
+        kcs2: kcs2@0 {
+            compatible = "nuvoton,npcm750-kcs-bmc";
+            reg = <0x0 0x40>;
+            interrupts = <0 9 4>;
