The PCI-side port number 0x60080000 gets turned into Linux I/O resource 0,
which I think is what __pci_assign_resource operates on.

The other question is why the platform would want to configure the
PCI bus to have a PCI I/O space window of size 0x10000 at the address
it's mapped into, rather than putting it at address zero. Is this a hardware
bug, a bootloader bug, or just badly set up in the DT?

Putting the PCI address of the I/O space window at port 0 is usually
better because it works with PCI devices and drivers that assume that
port numbers are below 0xfffff, and makes the PCI port number match
the Linux port number.
