Why do you think the order matters?

Correct, but the DT knows nothing about logical port numbers in Linux. > 2) How can you guarantee that the cpu range associated with this > IO bus range is the first to be registered in pci_register_io_range()? > ( i.e. are you saying that they are just relying on the fact that it is the > only IO range in the system and by chance the IO tokens and corresponding > bus addresses are the same? ) To clarify: the special properties of having the first 0x1000 logical port numbers go to a particular physical bus are very obscure. I think it's more important to not change the behavior for existing systems that might rely on it than for new systems that have no such legacy. The ipmi and uart drivers in particular will get the port numbers filled in their platform device from the DT bus scanning, so they don't care at all about having the same numeric value for port numbers on the bus and logical numbers, but other drivers might rely on particular ports to be mapped on a specific PCI host, especially when those drivers are used only on systems that don't have more than one PCI domain.
