The ioport / indexed-ioport accessed apple_gmux-es likely are (part of?)
LPC bus devices . Looking at the bus level you are now changing 4 io
accesses with a size of 1 byte, to 1 32 bit io-access.

Depending on the decoding hw in the chip this may work fine,
or this may work not at all.

I realized that you have asked for more testing, but most surviving
macbooks from the older apple-gmux era appear to be models without
a discrete GPU (which are often the first thing to break) and thus
without a gmux.

Unless we get a bunch of testers to show up, which I doubt. I would
prefer slightly bigger / less pretty code and not change the functional
behavior of the driver on these older models.

Regards,

Hans
