Can you show the exact property in your device tree? It sounds like the
problem is an incorrect entry in the ranges, unless the chip is hardwired
to the bus address in an unusual way.

Right, there is probably yet another problem. Patch [2] should
be harmless here, but patch [3] is wrong as you should not override
the length of the I/O port window that is in the DT.

I don't know what those IO coherency units are, but I would think that
if you have to do some extra things on MIPS but not ARM, then those
should be done from the common PCI host bridge code and stubbed out
on architectures that don't need them.

The "offset" is between two numbers that can normally both be
picked freely, so it could literally be anything, but in the most common
and ideal case, it is zero:

The Linux port number gets assigned when probing the host bridge,
this is purely a software construct and the first bridge should normally
get range 0-0xffff, the second bridge gets range 0x10000-0x1ffff
etc. The code assigning these numbers is rather confusing, and I
can't even find where it is now...

The port number on the bus is platform specific. In some cases
you can set it through a register in the pci host bridge, in other
cases it is fixed to starting at zero. If the address is programmable,
it can be either set by the firmware or bootloader and passed down
to the kernel through the DT ranges property, or the ranges can
contain a suggested value that then has to be programmed by
the host bridge driver.

If the value is not zero, you should try setting it to zero to get
an identity mapping against the Linux port numbers, to minimize
the confusion.

It is possible that the hardware (or bootloader) designers
misunderstood what the window is about, and hardcoded it so
that the port number on the bus is the same as the physical
address as seen from the CPU. If this is the case and you
can't change it to a sane value, you have to put the 1:1
translation into the DT and would actually get the strange
port numbers 0x1e161000-0x1e16100f from that nonzero offset.

This means you can only use PCI devices that can be
programmed with high port numbers, but not devices with
hardcoded legacy ports.

no, not the offset. As long as mips_io_port_base==PCI_IOBASE,
the accessible ports will be between mips_io_port_base and
mips_io_port_base+0xffff.
