All PIO on MIPS platforms is memory mapped, so there is no benefit in
the lib/iomap.c wrappers that switch between inb/outb and readb/writeb
style accessses.
In fact, the '#define PIO_RESERVED 0' setting completely disables
the GENERIC_IOMAP functionality, and the '#define PIO_OFFSET
mips_io_port_base' setting is based on a misunderstanding of what the
offset is meant to do.
MIPS started using GENERIC_IOMAP in 2018 with commit b962aeb022 ("MIPS:
Use GENERIC_IOMAP") replacing a simple custom implementation of the same
interfaces, but at the time the asm-generic/io.h version was not usable
yet. Since the header is now always included, it's now possible to go
back to the even simpler version.
Use the normal GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP functionality for all mips platforms
without the hacky GENERIC_IOMAP, and provide a custom pci_iounmap()
for the CONFIG_PCI_DRIVERS_LEGACY case to ensure the I/O port base never
gets unmapped.
The readsl() prototype needs an extra 'const' keyword to make it
compatible with the generic ioread32_rep() alias.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
