Neither of those use I/O ports though, nor does any other sensible
device that was made in the past decade.

The compatible string tells me that this is a designware pcie block,
so I think driver actually sets up the mapping based on the ranges
property in DT in dw_pcie_iatu_detect() and dw_pcie_iatu_setup(),
rather than the mapping being determined by hardware or firmware
in advance.

Not sure about the general policy we have for this case, maybe the
pci controller or pci-dwc maintainers have an idea here. I would
think it's better to either have no I/O ranges in DT or have
sensible ones than ones that are clearly bogus, if the controller
is able to set up the ranges.
