Commit d61a3ead2680 ("[PATCH] IPMI: reserve I/O ports separately")
changed the way I/O ports were reserved and includes this comment in
log:

Some BIOSes reserve disjoint I/O regions in their ACPI tables for the IPMI
controller. This causes problems when trying to register the entire I/O
region. Therefore we must register each I/O port separately.

There is a similar problem with memio regions on an arm64 platform
(AMD Seattle). Where I see:

Sigh. I guess it was bound to happen.

ipmi message handler version 39.2
ipmi_si AMDI0300:00: probing via device tree
ipmi_si AMDI0300:00: ipmi_si: probing via ACPI
ipmi_si AMDI0300:00: [mem 0xe0010000] regsize 1 spacing 4 irq 23
ipmi_si: Adding ACPI-specified kcs state machine
IPMI System Interface driver.
ipmi_si: Trying ACPI-specified kcs state machine at mem \
address 0xe0010000, slave address 0x0, irq 23
ipmi_si: Could not set up I/O space

The problem is that the ACPI core registers disjoint regions for the
platform device:

e0010000-e0010000 : AMDI0300:00
e0010004-e0010004 : AMDI0300:00

and the ipmi_si driver tries to register one region e0010000-e0010004.

This patch creates helper functions for region reservation so that
mem/port setup/cleanup ops can share the code which requests and
releases the regions separately.

I've been debating far too long about this. You end up with less code if you just modify the memory function to add the loop like was in the port function. All the reuse you really get is the loop on the index. I'm not sure there's a lot of value in splitting this out. It kind of defeats the purpose of the function variables, sort of.

I'll send you a patch I did in a separate email. It ends up adding 14 lines instead of 34 lines.

I really don't like passing in the is_memio. It's hard to tell what true and false mean when you pass them in like that. If we go this way, just use info->io.addr_type so you don't have to pass anything in.
