Because no one had a need for it? ;-)

Now seriously, m68k only has MMIO, no PIO.  Any PIO, if used, is for ISA or
PCMCIA I/O accesses, which are little endian.

Looking at git history, that was done to fix some link errors, which no
longer seem to happen with the more mature asm-generic infrastructure we
have now.

So probably we can drop the selection of GENERIC_IOMAP and inclusion
of <asm-generic/iomap.h>, after fixing a few compiler warnings like:

    include/asm-generic/io.h: In function ‘ioread8_rep’
    arch/m68k/include/asm/io_mm.h:371:44: warning: passing argument 1
of ‘raw_insb’ discard ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type
[-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
     #define readsb(port, buf, nr)     raw_insb((port), (u8 *)(buf), (nr))
    arch/m68k/include/asm/raw_io.h:101:50: note: expected ‘volatile u8
*’ {aka ‘volatile unsigned char *’} but argument is of type ‘const
volatile void *’
    static inline void raw_insb(volatile u8 __iomem *port, u8 *buf,
unsigned int len)

and some regression testing, of course.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
