This is really surprising. Those cleanups were explicitly requested by
Arnd Bergmann during the review process of my address decoding patch
set. The earlier version of this patch set was only doing address
decoding changes, not the IOMEM() cleanup. And Arnd requested the
IOMEM() cleanup to be done as a pre-requisite to the address decoding
changes. I've therefore spent two days last week doing these cleanups
and retesting the address decoding changes, and now you're telling us
exactly the opposite of what Arnd said two weeks ago?

I'm sorry but that doesn't really fair here.

Best regards,

Thomas
