I think you also want to use ioremap_wc or dma_alloc_writecombine
here, to get a write-combining mapping, rather than a device mapping
that you would use for MMIO register access.

There is also a builtin assumption in the code above that the DMA
address space pointer (which you pass into REG_FB_ADDR) is the
same as what you pass into drvdata->info.fix.smem_start. That is
not the case in general, but I don't see a good way around it
when pdata->fb_phys is set by the platform to something outside
of system memory. It should probably have a comment next to it.
