So with these patches, we only ever return 1 from these helpers. It looks
like the same is true for x86, so how about we make them void and move the
calls inside the conditionals in lib/ioremap.c? Obviously, this would be a
separate patch on the end.
That sounds valid code churn to me. But since x86 discussion is not
concluded yet, I would wait to share until that gets resolved. May be
not in v13 but separate effort. Would that be okay to you ?
Yes, fine by me.
