Right, so a highmem page results in this returning NULL, which will...

cause ioremap_cache() to be called. That falls through on ARM to:
__arm_ioremap_pfn_caller()
and we will hit this (as I've mentioned before through explanation
rather than quoting code):
/*
* Don't allow RAM to be mapped - this causes problems with ARMv6+
*/
if (WARN_ON(pfn_valid(pfn)))
return NULL;
