My understanding is the OEM may have different i2c devices because it
is mainboard specific.

The removed code was using a MMIO region to write 1 to 'mmioen'. This was 
using the MMIO region to enable same MMIO region.

Programmer's manual shows FCH::PM::ISACONTROL[mmioen] has a '1' reset value.
Per programmer's manual, FCH::PM::ISACONTROL[mmioen] enables MMIO mapping 
at FED8_0000h..FED8_1FFFh. The FCH::PM::ISACONTROL register is MMIO 
mapped at FED8_0304h. 'mmioen' was intended to be set using port I/O to 
enable MMIO but, port I/O access to these registers is now disabled.

I'll add your requested fixes into v5 and will send for review this afternoon.

Thanks for the review.
