The typecasts look wrong here: 

- "volatile unsigned long*" is not the right pointer type to do I/O on. It
  should instead be "void __iomem *". Please use the "sparse" tool with "make C=1"
  to get warnings about incorrect pointer type accesses.

- PKUNITY_IOSPACE_BASE seems to be both a virtual and a physical address, which
  is a bad idea, because it prevents a lot of the checks from working correctly.

- The __REG/__PREG macros seem to have the same purpose as io_p2v/io_v2p, you
  should not require both.

- The term IOSPACE is confusing, because it normally refers to the PCI PIO
  space, while you mean the SoC's MMIO region

I would recommend defining these as

#ifndef __ASSEMBLY__
#define PKUNITY_MMIO_VIRT ((void __iomem *)0x80000000)
#else
#define PKUNITY_MMIO_VIRT 0x80000000
#endif

#define io_p2v(x)	((x) - PKUNITY_MMIO_VIRT)
#define io_v2p(x)	((x) + PKUNITY_MMIO_VIRT)

/* please remove the two macros below as soon as all users are changed to use io_p2v */
#define __REG(x) io_p2v(x)
#define __PREG(x) io_v2p(x)
