[PATCH v3] x86: i8237: Register based on FADT legacy boot flag

[Anshuman Gupta]

From: Rajneesh Bhardwaj <rajneesh.bhardwaj@xxxxxxxxx>

>From Skylake onwards, the platform controller hub (Sunrisepoint PCH) does
not support legacy DMA operations to IO ports 81h-83h, 87h, 89h-8Bh, 8Fh.
Currently this driver registers as syscore ops and its resume function is
called on every resume from S3. On Skylake and Kabylake, this causes a
resume delay of around 100ms due to port IO operations, which is a problem.

This change allows to load the driver only when the platform bios
explicitly supports such devices or has a cut-off date earlier than 2017.
For example open source system firmware like coreboot started unsetting
ACPI_FADT_LEGACY_DEVICES field in FADT table very recently.

Please refer to chapter 21 of 6th Generation Intel Coreâ Processor
Platform Controller Hub Family: BIOS Specification.
