Looks generally fine, but two comments:
- do you have a need for ioremap_cache? We are generally try to
phase it out in favour of memremap, and it is generally only used
by arch specific code.
- I have a big series pending to clean up the mess with our
ioremap_* functions, including adding a generic implementation
that csky should be able to use. Unless this patch is urgent it
might make sense to rebase it on top. Here is my current tree, I
plan to post it soon:
