Hi Geert,

Thanks for the review and the Reviewed-by for 4/4.

Here there is a real behavioral impact from not setting mem->is_iomem for 
carveouts backed by ioremap_wc(). In that case rproc_da_to_va() reports the 
region as normal memory, so the ELF load and
coredump paths can end up using memcpy/memset/memcpy_fromio incorrectly instead 
of the io accessors.

Given Arnaud's feedback, I'll split that out from the helper cleanup and 
explain it explicitly in a separate patch in v2.

Thanks,
Ben

Hi Arnaud,

Thanks for the review.

Agreed on both points. I'll add the missing map-failure error message in v2.

For mem->is_iomem, I agree it should not be folded into this cleanup patch 
without its own justification. I'll keep the helper conversion behavior-neutral 
here and split
it into a separate patch with an explanation of the impact on the remoteproc 
load/coredump paths.

Thanks,
Ben
