Thank you!
Now a question, why your case can't have a separate (platform) device driver?

Yes, I mixed up IO() vs. Memory*() resource. The IO() has two values for
the start address and you fixed that to the above mentioned value.
TL;DR: this looks okay.

Since you have a proper Device object in ACPI, it seems to me that you should
do other way around, i.e. having a platform device driver for this ACPI device
(based on _HID) and use piix4 as a library for it.
