I would leave this dependency, or maybe make it 'HAS_IOMEM || HAS_IOPORT'.
at least the parport_atari driver uses MMIO instead of PIO.

This would revert 66bcd06099bb ("parport_pc: Also enable driver for
PCI systems"), so I think this is wrong. You can drop the !S390
by adding HAS_IOPORT as a dependency, but the other line should still
be 

       depends on ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_PARPORT || PCI
