From: Bartosz Golaszewski <redacted> The new devm_platform_ioremap_resource() helper has now been widely adopted and used in many drivers. Users of nocache and write-combined ioremap() variants could profit from the same code shrinkage. This series provides two new versions of devm_platform_ioremap_resource() and uses it in a few example drivers with the assumption that - just like was the case previously - a coccinelle script will be developed to ease the transition for others.Please be aware that the number of ioremap() variants is being reduced, as some of them are redundant (e.g. ioremap() already creates an uncached mapping, so ioremap_nocache() is not needed). So less is better than more ;-)
Yes. If I can get the ia64 and openrisc patch in I plan to send Linus a scripted removal of ioremap_nocache after -rc1. I already have a local patch for current mainline as of about two weeks ago.
