Yes, two. The first region is registers configuring various LPC host
controller properties. The second region is for configuring the LPC
serial IRQ trigger modes.

Would you like me to say as much in the patch? It's not a completely
clear split of functionality as other serial IRQ properties are also
described in the first region. Maybe describing the datasheet's
register names for the regions (LHCR[0-8] for the first, LHCR[A-B] for
the second) would help?

Cheers,

Andrew
