I an not sure which subsystem to place, do you have any sugguestion?

OK, I will fix it.

There are some mistake,it should be wrote like:
reg = <0x0 0xa01b0000 0x0 0x10000>;

The interface "lpc_io_read_byte" may be called in IRQ context by UART driver,
and in process context by ipmi driver.

It is not a PCI I/O space, although we want access it like IO space.
Could you explain how to hook up to the generic inb/outb functions.

Because in previous design, the uart driver should call lpc_io_write_byte
and lpc_io_write_byte. the header file must be included in uart_driver.c to
access its exported interface.
