The ASF (Alert Standard Format) function block is essentially an SMBus
controller with built-in ASF functionality. It features two pins SCL1 and
SDA1 that facilitate communication with other SMBus devices. This dual
capability allows the ASF controller to issue generic SMBus packets and
communicate with the DASH controller using MCTP over ASF. Additionally,
the ASF controller supports remote commands defined by the ASF
specification, such as shutdown, reset, power-up, and power-down, without
requiring any software interaction.

The concept is to enable a remote system to communicate with the target
system over the network. The local network controller, such as an Ethernet
MAC, receives remote packets and relays the commands to the FCH
(Fusion Controller Hub) through the ASF. Examples of these commands
include shutdown and reset. Since ASF uses the SMBus protocol, this
controller can be configured as a secondary SMBus controller.

This series of updates is focused on integrating the capabilities of AMD's
ASF (Alert Standard Format) controller into the i2c-piix4 driver.

Shyam Sundar S K (5):
  i2c: piix4: Allow more than two algo selection for SMBus
  i2c: piix4: Add i2c_algorithm operations to support AMD ASF with SMBus
  i2c: piix4: Add ACPI support for ASF SMBus device
  i2c: piix4: Adjust the SMBus debug message
  i2c: piix4: Clear remote IRR bit to get successive interrupt
