I think you should squash this into the prior patch, no sense in
changing all these lines twice

But looks better to me.

So.. The ACPI IO region starts at the head area and continues to
include the control area, as one nice sane region - except for some
older stuff that puts the control area outside the ACPI IO region?

That makes a lot more sense..

Maybe chuck in a

   if (priv->flags & CRB_FL_CRB_START) {
      if (buf->control_address != io_res.start + sizeof(struct
          crb_regs_head))
          dev_warn(dev, FIRMWARE_BUG "Bad ACPI memory layout")
