Thanks for your patch, which is now commit 53f44c1005ba6421 ("i2c: add
HAS_IOPORT dependencies") in i2c-host/i2c/i2c-host (next-20240408).

This restricts the driver to platforms that select HAS_IOPORT, while
the driver supports both MMIO and IOPORT.

At least for
arch/xtensa/configs/audio_kc705_defconfig:CONFIG_I2C_OCORES=y
the HAS_IOPORT dependency does not seem to be met.

I think the IOPORT part in i2c-ocores.c should be protected by
"#ifdef HAS_IOPORT" first, so the driver can still be built on platforms
that do not support IOPORT.
