No.
Not setting CONFIG_HAS_IOMEM=y means "This arch has no io memory and therefore 
no
functions to mess with it".

Let's get back to the real problem,
drivers/ptp/ptp_pch.c does not build on UML (and I'm very sure also not on 
S390).
Fix the issue by making it depend on HAS_IOMEM.

Btw: Did you actually look at this driver? There is *zero* reason to have it on 
UML.
...like 99.9% of all other drivers which use io memory.
