I wonder if it would make sense to make

I wonder why current code doesn't check _TTP? The code in the
add_io_space() seems to think _TTP is always set, right?

I think it's an oversight, and you should fix it. I suggest that you
ignore the _TRA value when _TTP is set. Obviously this only applies
to I/O port resources, since _TTP is only defined in the I/O Resource
Flag (Table 6-185 in ACPI 5.0 spec).

_TTP is also defined in the Memory Resource flag, Please have a look at
Table 6-184 in the ACPI 5.0 Spec.

Yes, you're right. That would be for a host bridge that converts I/O
on the primary (upstream) side of the bridge to memory on the PCI
side. I've never seen such a bridge, and I can't really imagine why
anybody would do that. But I guess you should be able to safely
ignore _TRA when _TTP is set in either a MEM or IO descriptor, because
the same reasoning should apply to both.

I am not sure how to deal with _TTP unsetting io resource? _TTP unsetting
mean the resource is IO on the primary side and also IO on the secondary
side.

If _TTP is not set, I guess you would apply _TRA. That's what you
already do for MEM descriptors, and think you should just do the same
for IO descriptors. I would guess that having _TTP = 0 and _TRA != 0
is rare for IO descriptors, but I suppose it could happen.

Yes, my concern is for the IO resource case of _TTP=0 and _TRA !=0. The
only reason for this case I think of is that the IO resource offsets on
the prime bus and second bus are different. In this case, we still need
to pass _TRA to new_space() and the finial resource->start still should be acpi_resource->min + offset returned by add_io_space(), right?

If yes, I think _TRA can't be applied to IO resource in the
acpi_dev_resource_address_space() regardless of the value of _TTP.

BTW, Translation Sparse(_TRS) is only meaningful if _TTP is set.(Table 6-185). The add_io_space() doesn't check _TTP when set sparse. So this should be corrected?
