Right, this clearly needs adjustment. I went with the following commit
message for v5:

"counter: add HAS_IOPORT_MAP dependency

The 104_QUAD_8 counter driver uses devm_ioport_map() without depending
on HAS_IOPORT_MAP. This causes compilation to fail on platforms such as
s390 which do not support I/O port mapping. Add the missing
HAS_IOPORT_MAP dependency to fix this."

Thanks,
Niklas
