I'm really only interested in touching this code if it is too remove
it. But some reason people still run 1990s Macs.

Your understanding is wrong.

The normal case is you must have ranges to translate addresses. If you
don't have ranges (say for I2C addresses), then you shouldn't be in
this code. The quirk is for when there is not a ranges property but
should be. IOW, if the quirk is true, then pretend there is an empty
ranges (1:1 translation) property and continue to translate the
address.
