Ok assume that we do not call pci_address_to_pio() for the ISA bus... The LPC driver will register its phys address range in io_range_list, then the IPMI driver probe will retrieve its physical address calling of_address_to_resource and will use the indirect io to access this address. >From the perspective of the indirect IO function the input parameter is an unsigned long addr that (now) can be either: 1) an IO token coming from a legacy pci device 2) a phys address that lives on the LPC bus These are conceptually two separate address spaces (and actually they both start from 0). If the input parameter can live on different address spaces that are overlapped, even if I save the used LPC range in arm64_extio_ops->start/end there is no way for the indirect IO to tell if the input parameter is an I/O token or a phys address that belongs to LPC... Am I missing something?
