Several days' leave.... Do you want to bypass of_translate_address and pci_address_to_pio for the registered specific PIO? I think the bypass for of_translate_address is ok, but worry some new issues will emerge without the conversion between physical address and logical/linux port number. When PCI host bridge which support IO operations is configured and enabled, the pci_address_to_pio will populate the logical IO range from ZERO for the first host bridge. Our LPC will also use part of the IO range started from ZERO. It will make in/out enter the wrong branch possibly. In V2, the 0 - 0x1000 logical IO range is reserved for LPC use only. But it seems not so good. In this way, PCI has no chance to use low 4K IO range(logical). So, in V3, applying the conversion from physical/cpu address to logical/linux IO port for any IO ranges, including the LPC, but recorded the logical IO range for LPC. When calling in/out with a logical port address, we can check this port fall into LPC logical IO range and get back the real IO.

What about add the specific quirk for Hip06 LPC in of_empty_ranges_quirk()?? you know, there are several cases in which of_translate_address return OF_BAD_ADDR. And if we only check the special port range, it seems a bit risky. If some device want to use this port range when no hip06 LPC is configured, the checking does not work. I think we should also check the relevant device.
