Thanks Arnd. This looks like it applies on top of Vijay's recent patch?

The intent of that change was to make the driver usable for systems
that do not want to depend on the flash phandle. I think the fix we
want looks like this:

--- a/drivers/soc/aspeed/aspeed-lpc-ctrl.c

                        return rc;
                }

        }

-       lpc_ctrl->pnor_size = resource_size(&resm);
-       lpc_ctrl->pnor_base = resm.start;


Vijay, do you agree?

Cheers,

Joel
