No need for this at all.  Use dev_get_drvdata() direct instead.
I see that others have put this as static inline in the header file, so I will
follow that. I don't want to expose this directly in the implementation of the
clients.

Let me know if you object.
I do (unless you convince me otherwise).  Why is this a good idea and
why 'exposing' this directly is a bad one?  At the moment this looks
to me like abstraction for the sake of abstraction.

You should probably do this _before_ using it above.
There's no difference in behaviour, but it just feels cleaner than:

res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_MEM, 0);
rpm->status_regs = devm_ioremap_resource(&pdev->dev, res);
if (IS_ERR(rpm->status_regs))
	return PTR_ERR(rpm->status_regs);
rpm->ctrl_regs = rpm->status_regs + 0x400;
rpm->req_regs = rpm->status_regs + 0x600;

If you don't like it, I'll change it.
There is a difference.  In the current implementation you're doing math
with a possible error code and assigning rubbish to rpm->ctrl_regs and
rpm->req_regs.

No one authored this driver?
Thought that was optional, will update.
It's also helpful.  Can you place an Author: line in the header(s) too.
