Added device tree binding documentation for Nuvoton BMC
NPCM7xx BIOS Post Code (BPC).
The NPCM7xx BPC monitoring two configurable I/O addresses
written by the host on Low Pin Count (LPC) bus.

So uncovering a bit of a dirty secret here, we should probably consider this in the context of the ASPEED snoop function. A driver snuck into the misc tree without an associated bindings document:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/misc/aspeed-lpc-snoop.c

(it wasn't me, I'm happy to discuss my proposed bindings, please don't shoot the messenger :))

The devicetree node looks something like:

					lpc_snoop: lpc-snoop@0 {
						compatible = "aspeed,ast2500-lpc-snoop";
						reg = <0x0 0x80>;
						interrupts = <8>;
						status = "disabled";
					};

and also has a required "snoop-ports" property with at least one and up to two cells that describe the channels to snoop. Channel values are either 0 or 1. It's feasible that the double-word capture could also be supported as both supported channels have their data captured in different fields of the same register.

Do we go with what's already in the tree in supporting 'snoop-ports' or keep 'monitor-ports' as proposed by Tomer?

+Nuvoton BMC NPCM7xx BIOS Post Code (BPC) monitoring two
