Maybe. Another possibility would be to simply change the current
syntax:

io at 0x60 = 0x3f0
irq at 0x70 = 6
dma at 0x74 = 2  # note dma not drq

I'm even tempted to not have the address in the mainboard spec. The
component driver should know where to program IO, IRQ and DMA.

The latter argument could be a strong motivation for bringing dts
into v2. I know I liked it, but we'll start with getting Kconfig
right.
