Do you really mean the Host here, that is, software that controls LPC master when ASpeed is used as an LPC slave? Linux driver is not doing anything special with the UART1, it's just trying to use it as if it was a hardware 16550A physical IC on I/O bus. Or do you mean the BMC software shouldn't be enabling SUART1 by making sure its clock is disabled in SCU0C? Is there anything else needed? I've tried reading the ast2500 datasheet many times but this detail seem to be missing. Is there some appnote on the topic probably? In this case do we have some way to make it an obvious error to enable both SUART1 and VUART in DTS? If they're conflicting surely there should be a way to express that?
