Is this essentially selecting between bit-bang mode or not? Is there a
generally applicable reason to select SW mode over HW (or vice versa)?
This sounds like it's tied to device-specific capability which shouldn't
be exposed in a generic user API.

Probably should remove the reference to Aspeed here.

I notice the single-open()-per-device lock was dropped by request in an
earlier revision of your patches, but multiple processes trying to drive
a single JTAG master could wreak serious havoc if transactions get
interleaved. Would something like an added JTAG_LOCKCHAIN/UNLOCKCHAIN
ioctl() for exclusive client access be reasonable to prevent this?
