Personally, I don't see much value on a Kconfig var for legacy PCI I/O space. From maintenance PoV, bots won't be triggered if someone use HAS_IOPORT instead of the PCI specific one - or vice-versa. So, we could end having a mix of both at the wrong places, in long term. Also, assuming that PCIe hardware will some day abandon support for "legacy" PCI I/O space, I guess some runtime logic would be needed, in order to work with both kinds of PCIe controllers. So, having a Kconfig option won't help much, IMO. So, my personal preference would be to have just one Kconfig var, but I'm ok if the PCI maintainers decide otherwise. Thanks, Mauro
