If I read the code correctly adding the function above would end
up in a 1:1 mapping:
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/of/address.c#L513

so taddr will be assigned with the cpu address space specified
in the children nodes of LPC and we are not using a quirk function
(we are just checking that we have the indirect io assigned and
that we are on a ISA bus). Now probably there is a nit in my 
code sketch where of_isa_indirect_io should be probably an architecture
specific function...

I don't think this is very right as you may fail for different
reasons other than a missing range property, e.g:
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/of/address.c#L575

And even if the only failure case was a missing range if in the
future __of_translate_address had to be reworked we would again
make a wrong assumption...you get my point?

Thanks
