checkpatch now gives 0 warnings or errors on both dgap.c and dgap.h
so I'm now looking at sparse errors/warnings. There are many and I'm
not really clear as to the best way to address them. This is my first
exposure to sparse. A quick internet search reveals that using "__iomem"
in some way is the proper fix for most of what I see?
Here is an initial sparse output showing only the first few:

This patch seems to fix the first 5 but is it the correct way?

And then the last 2 warnings there seems to be a number of ways:
