No, of course not, that would be silly:

The argument to pci_address_to_pio() is a phys_addr_t, and we we don't
have one because there is no address associated with your PIO, that
is the entire point of your driver!

Also, we already know the mapping because this is what the inb/outb
workaround is looking at, so there is absolutely no reason to call it
either.

You would still need to reserve some space in the io_range_list
to avoid possible conflicts, which is a bit ugly with the current
definition of pci_register_io_range, but I'm sure can be done.

One way I can think of would be to change pci_register_io_range()
to just return the logical port number directly (it already
knows it!), and pass an invalid physical address (e.g. 
#define ISA_WORKAROUND_IO_PORT_WINDOW -0x10000) into it for
invalid translations.

Another alternative that just occurred to me would be to move
the pci_address_to_pio() call from __of_address_to_resource()
into of_bus_pci_translate() and then do the special handling
for the ISA/LPC bus in of_bus_isa_translate().
