As we discussed on IRC changing mapping of I/O to bus address 0x0 is
possible and together with recent changes of pci-aardvark.c driver
should work out-of-the box.

I sent patch which is changing I/O bus address to 0x0:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20220218212526.16021-1-pali@kernel.org/

Please look at it.
