That would be wrong address for the control area as it does not start
from the beginning of CRB registers.

There are basically two kinds of CRB devices in the wild:

1. ACPI start devices that use DMA
2. CRB MMIO devices

For 1 you always iomap control area. For 2 the ACPI object given buffer
covers the control area.

I think the crb_map_io and crb_map_res are too generic. Better way to do
things would be to validate that assumptions for these two cases hold.

That's why there's this thing called RFC :)
