Super I/O chips connected via LPC to the southbridge usually have their
I/O-mapped configuration interface with a size of two bytes at the base
address 0x2e or 0x4e. Other PNP devices have their configuration
address `0x2e` or `0x4e`. Other PNP devices have their configuration
interface at other addresses.
The two byte registers allow access to an indirect 256 bytes big
register space that contains the configuration. By writing the index
to the lower byte (e.g. 0x2e), you can access the register contents at
that index by reading/writing the higher byte (e.g. 0x2f).

## Logical device numbers (LDN)
Each PNP device can contain multiple logical devices. The bytes from
0x00 to 0x2f in the indirect configuration register space are common
for all LDNs, but some SIO chips require a certain LDN to be selected
in order to write certain registers in there. An LDN gets selected by
writing the LDN number to the LDN select register 0x07. Registers 0x30
to 0xFF are specific to each LDN number.

coreboot encodes the physical LDN number in the lower byte of the LDN
number.
### Virtual logical device numbers
Register 0x30 is the LDN enable register and since it is an 8 bit
Register `0x30` is the LDN enable register and since it is an 8 bit
register, it can contain up to 8 enable bits for different parts of
the functionality of that logical device. To set a certain enable bit
in one physical LDN, the concept of virtual LDNs was introduced.

The Super I/O datasheets typically contain the information about the
I/O resource masks. On most Super I/O chips the mask can also be found
out by writing 0xffff to the corresponding I/O base address register
out by writing `0xffff` to the corresponding I/O base address register
and reading back the value; since the lowest and highest bits are
hard-wired to zero according to the I/O resource size and maximal
possible I/O address, this gives the mask.

Each physical LDN has up to two configurable interrupt request register

enables IRQ generation; writing 0 to it disables the generation of
IRQs for the source. The second register selects the IRQ type (level

hard-wired to edge.
