Two major comments:

This needs to be two patches: one with the generic SSIF slave code, and
one with the aspeed-specific code.  It's hard to tell that you are
adding generic code otherwise.

If you are going to add a generic interface like this, you need to add
documentation on how to use it, but from userland and from in the
kernel.

And some other comments:

Did you run this through checkpatch?

I think there is a high-level race condition in this code.  Consider the
following sequence:

  1) host writes a request to the BMC
  2) BMC reads the request
  3) host aborts the operation
  4) host write a new request to the BMC
  5) BMC sends the response to the first message

You probably need something to say that a response can only go out if
there is a request that has come in that has been read by the BMC.

Other comments inline.

This would be a lot more elegant, and work better, if it was:

	
	spin_lock_irqsave(&ssif_bmc->lock, flags);
	while (ssif_bmc->response_in_progress) {
		if (non_blocking) {
			ret = -EAGAIN;
			goto out_unlock;
		}
		spin_unlock_irqrestore(&ssif_bmc->lock, flags);
		ret = wait_event_interruptible(ssif_bmc->wait_queue,
					       !ssif_bmc->response_in_progress);
		if (ret)
			return ret;
		spin_lock_irqsave(&ssif_bmc->lock, flags);
	}

Same with the receive function.  It avoids calling
wait_event_unnterruptible() unless required, and is easier to read.

If you are sitting on a blocking read here, there's no way to send a
message, do poll, etc because you use the same mutex.  That doesn't seem
like a good idea.

This design has some issues.  I'd recommend getting rid of file_mutex
and only using the spinlock.  Claim the spinlock before calling
receive_ssif_bmc_request(), release the spinlock in that function if you
need to block (and document heavily that you do this), and when it
returns you either have an error or there is a message waiting.

You can actually just get rid of receive_ssif_bmc_request() and inline
the code here, if you like.  That might be easier to read.

Same basic comments as the read side.  There is no need, BTW, to grab
the mutex before calling copy_from_user, since it's going into an
internal message buffer.

Speaking of that, ssif_msg is moderately big.  It's probably ok in this
case, but putting big things on the stack is generally frowned upon.

I believe -EINVAL is the right return value here.  Or just remove the
function; it's not necessary if not implemented.

With this above comments, this will need to claim the spinlock.  Which
is what you want, anyway, because request_available is set under the
spinlock.

Is there a reason you don't implement the write side of this?  That
would seem useful.  Otherwise what's the write side supposed to do if it
gets an EAGAIN from the write()?  I guess, given how this driver works,
that's not really possible if it's used correctly.  But it would provide
a way to know when a response has finished send.

Umm, shouldn't you reject zero length messages from the user, since that

You need the _irqsave version here.  You don't know if interrupts are
disabled or not.  Depends on the particular low-level driver.

If this happens and you are sending a response, you need to clean up.

If there's any other driver that using this register, you are racing
with it.

I don't really understand the whole use of this interrupt disable.  What
happens if the host has decided to abort an operation and starts a new
one?  I would think you would want to handle that gracefully.  As it is,
you will sit there waiting for the host to read the response, and it
never will, and you will never get the new transaction.

Plus these don't seem to be interrupts, they seem to be base I2C
disables, which you would really want handled in the I2C driver itself.

I would recommend getting rid of all this and handling a new request
if it comes in.  Then you can just create a generic SSIF BMC compatible
that will work for anything.  Really, if the host has sent a new
message, you need to handle it.

Why wouldn't you combine these into one call and or the values together?
