As I said, nothing should really require the ranges property here, unless
you have a valid IORESOURCE_MEM translation. The code that requires
the ranges to be present is wrong.

No, the ipmi driver uses the resource that belongs to the platform
device already, you can't rely on DMI data to be present there.
