BTW Rob Herring sent a patch in November to solve the problem by
renaming ioremap_cached to ioremap_cache under arch/arm:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=138394601804783

I wrongly assumed that was going to go in.
I think it is too late for that now. We'll have to go this this patch
for 3.13.
