Ok, I like the aproach, but why the heck those ifdef's ? Can't you just
remove them ?

Also, doing ifdef on xxxx_MODULE is always BAD because that means the
module can't be built afterward.

And also check now if the parent is "isa". Just to be sure. If a
platform won't match that, then it will need it's own
check_legacy_ioport which is fine with me.

To be totally correct, we should -also- check if the port number fits in
the the actual "reg" property but I'm not sure I can be bothered :-)
It's legacy stuff after all...

Cheers,
