From Skylake onwards, the platform controller hub (Sunrisepoint PCH) does not support legacy DMA operations to IO ports 81h-83h, 87h, 89h-8Bh, 8Fh. Currently this driver registers as syscore ops and its resume function is called on every resume from S3. On Skylake and Kabylake, this causes a resume delay of around 100ms due to port IO operations, which is a problem. This change allows to load the driver only when the platform bios explicitly supports such devices or has a cut-off date earlier than 2017 due to the following reasons: - The platforms released before year 2017 have support for the 8237. (except Sunrisepoint PCH e.g. Skylake) - Some of the BIOS that were released for platforms (Skylake, Kabylake) during 2016-17 are buggy. These BIOS do not set/unset the ACPI_FADT_LEGACY_DEVICES field in FADT table properly based on the presence or absence of the DMA device. Very recently, open source system firmware like coreboot started unsetting ACPI_FADT_LEGACY_DEVICES field in FADT table if the 8237 DMA device is not present on the PCH. Please refer to chapter 21 of 6th Generation Intel
