The problems, AFAIU, are that you cannot directly dereference __iomem
pointers, you always need to use helpers like 'readl()'. This patch
introduces the following warnings:

+drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c:281:33: warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces) [sparse]
+drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c:281:33:    expected unsigned int const volatile [usertype] *s [sparse]

The "volitile" should be also removed.
