Please make your local variables static so that yhou do not polute the
kernel's global symbol table.

+resource_size_t SP_IOP_RESERVE_BASE;
+resource_size_t SP_IOP_RESERVE_SIZE;

Again, static.

And why the odd comment lines?

And those are not good variable names.
+struct sp_iop {
+	struct miscdevice dev;			// iop device
+	struct mutex write_lock;
+	void __iomem *iop_regs;
+	void __iomem *pmc_regs;
+	void __iomem *moon0_regs;
+	int irq;
+};

Global where?  What about the ones above?  :)
+static struct sp_iop *iop;
Why do you think you only have one device in the system?  Please do not
use a single variable like this.  It is easy to make your driver handle
an unlimited number of devices just as easy as to handle 1 device.
Please do that instead and hang your device-specific data off of the
correct data structures that the driver core gives you.
+
+void iop_normal_mode(void)
Did you run sparse on this code?  Please do so.

Also, no need for a .h file for a driver that only has one .c file.

thanks,
