This should not be a misc driver.

The name is too generic, unless you can guarantee that Hisilicon has never
before made another implementation of an LPC interface, and never will
again.

I think you should create a child address space here using a
'#address-cells' and '#size-cells'.

Remove the obfuscation here.

Avoid global data structures.

Better release the spinlock here and call a sleeping function for the wait.
If the timeout is 10ms, you definitely don't want to keep interrupts disabled
the whole time.

If you can't find a good way to retry after getting the lock back, maybe
use a mutex here that you can keep locked the whole time.

Using your own accessor functions sounds wrong here. What you have
is essentially a PCI I/O space, right? As much as we all hate I/O
space (in particular the kind that is not memory mapped), I think this
should be hooked up to the generic inb/outb functions to allow
all the generic device drivers to work.

Don't do a global header here, just move it into the main file.
