I didn't get this, sorry. The numbers above just precise sizes of the
resources. Actually they all one page anyway, so, I can drop magic of SIZEs and
leave only offsets.

Definitely should not. It's not a business of the pin control driver to know
how it has to be instantiated (or from what data). These offsets belong to the
platform description and since firmware hides the device without given an
appropriate ACPI device node, we have only one choice (assuming firmware is
carved in stone) -- board files.

P2SB on the other hand is a slice of many (independent) devices. There is no
"proper" place to unhide it except some core part of x86 / PCI.
