 Thanks for your input.

 That has been actually discussed already with a conclusion that more work 
is required to have HAS_IOPORT supported, see the thread starting from: 
<https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAMuHMdW-utcFzCZTgqONjxs=U662nF0=aBQu7Zi7FBQouwiA3g@mail.gmail.com/>. 
(there's a reference to the HAS_IOPORT patchset there as well).  Once that 
has been sorted configuration conditions for the parport driver can be 
updated accordingly.  For the time being the !S390 qualification should 
do.
