** Description changed:

- The HiSilicon Hip06/Hip07 SoCs include a low-pin-count (LPC) host
- controller. The Linux kernel needs support for this interface to use
- attached devices, such as a UART and the IPMI system interface.
+ [Impact]
+ The HiSilicon Hip06/Hip07 SoCs include a low-pin-count (LPC) host controller. 
The Linux kernel needs support for this interface to use attached devices, such 
as a UART and the IPMI system interface.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ Boot up a HiSilicon D05 system, confirm that the following command returns 
w/o error:
+ 
+ $ sudo ipmitool lan print
+ 
+ [Regression Risk]
+ The proposed patchset only enables LIBIO for arm64, so the greatest 
regression risk is to other arm64 systems. We have mitigated that by testing on 
a wide range of hardware (all certified arm64 servers + some in-devel systems). 
There remains some arch-independent changes to the generic PCI code. The patch 
"PCI: Restore codepath for !CONFIG_LIBIO" was added to mitigate the risk to 
other architectures by restoring the previous code for those architectures.
