Well at least it does compile code calling outb() in
drivers/acpi/ec.c:acpi_ec_write_cmd(). Not sure if there is an
alternative path at runtime if there is then we might want to instead
use ifdefs to always use the non I/O port path if HAS_IOPORT is
undefined.

Yes x86, arm64 and ia64 that is all arches that set ACH_SUPPORTS_ACPI
all select HAS_IOPORT too. See patch 02 or the summary in the cover
letter which notes that only s390, nds32, um, h8300, nios2, openrisc,
hexagon, csky, and xtensa do not select it.

If you prefer to have the dependency there that should work too yes.
