It should. In fact all ARM and ARM64 platforms I have seen (and most powerpc
ones) have their IO region memory mapped. The way we handle this in Linux
is to map the IO space to a fixed virtual address at the time the host
controller is initialized, and all accesses to an IO port translate to
a access in this virtual address. See the inb()/outb() implementation on
arm and arm64, as well as the arm pci_ioremap_io() function for more
details.

Ok.

Is it always an identity-mapping then?

I mean it would be just as easy to open-code the function in the
callers, and more readable.

There might be holes in the memory map for other reasons, e.g. some part of
memory could be reserved for use by a particular piece of software.
There is actually a definition for a "dma-ranges" property that is normally
use to communicate this information, i.e. which bus addresses for DMA
translate into which parent bus (or memory) addresses. I think it would
be more logical to use that property.
