Yeah, this seems good to me, right now we have devm_ioremap, devm_ioremap_wc, devm_ioremap_nocache
May be we can use an enum like:
typedef enum {
	DEVM_IOREMAP = 0,
	DEVM_IOREMAP_NOCACHE,
	DEVM_IOREMAP_WC,
} devm_ioremap_type;

static inline void __iomem *devm_ioremap(struct device *dev, resource_size_t offset,
                resource_size_t size)
 {return __devm_ioremap(dev, offset, size, DEVM_IOREMAP);}

 static inline void __iomem *devm_ioremap_nocache(struct device *dev, resource_size_t offset,
                    resource_size_t size);
 {return __devm_ioremap(dev, offset, size, DEVM_IOREMAP_NOCACHE);}

 static inline void __iomem *devm_ioremap_wc(struct device *dev, resource_size_t offset,
                    resource_size_t size);
 {return __devm_ioremap(dev, offset, size, DEVM_IOREMAP_WC);}

 static void __iomem *__devm_ioremap(struct device *dev, resource_size_t offset,
                resource_size_t size, devm_ioremap_type type)
 {
     void __iomem **ptr, *addr = NULL;
 [...]
     switch (type){
     case DEVM_IOREMAP:
         addr = ioremap(offset, size);
         break;
     case DEVM_IOREMAP_NOCACHE:
         addr = ioremap_nocache(offset, size);
         break;
     case DEVM_IOREMAP_WC:
         addr = ioremap_wc(offset, size);
         break;
     }
 [...]
 }
