You did suggest HARDCODED_IOPORT earlier in this thread, and the
definition/premise there seemed sensible to me.

Anyway it seems practical to make all these changes in a single series,
so need a way forward as Niklas has no such changes for this additional
kconfig option.

As a start, may I suggest we at least have Niklas' patch committed to a
dev branch based on -next or latest mainline release for further analysis?

Thanks,
John
