Bad subject line. I originally submitted this to a downstream 4.10. Let me fix that.

I checked the datasheets when I wrote this and ast2400 does not have
the (undocumented) HICRB register bits 14,15 that enables the BMC to
actually respond to the snoop'ed address.
Without setting that bit in the ast2500 the transactions to that I/O
port would timeout on the host side (although the BMC snoop logic
would still see it and log it).
Probably not an issue for x86 systems that don't have any LPC I/O
error handling anyways but LPC timeouts causes issues with POWER
systems since it sets a hardware FIR bit which can cause boot
failures.

You're right, it is marked as "reserved" in the datasheet for the ast2400.

Interesting. I've been running experiments on x86 and I haven't seen
any errors, so that adds more credence to your point. If a device
doesn't respond within X time, three times in a row, you get a triple
fault. But, on x86, I don't think I've seen any mechanism with an
expectation that a port IO write will have a guaranteed response.
For the use-case I'm chasing, my goal being to snoop PoST codes from
the host, there is in the datasheet a post-code control register set,
but I haven't explored configuring them or whether someone has written
the fifo driver for them.

An approach would be to ditch this change and instead refer to the
ast2500-lpc-snoop in my device-tree to avoid anyone non-x86 from
running this configuration and hitting issues.

This change is probably fine since the driver does still work but you
should also guard the setting of the HICRB bits with #ifdef
MACH_ASPEED_G5 or similar to avoid setting reserved bits on the G4
hardware.
