Minor nitpicking: dev->base_addr should be defined as an __iomem pointer
so you can avoid the cast here and in the ioremap/iounmap path.
Here the member "base_addr" of "struct net_device" is used and it's not
up to me to change the type.
Right, that makes sense. However, most drivers use the field to store the
physical address, not the iomap token. Maybe there should be a new field
in struct sja1000_priv for the virtual address, but that would be a change
to the base driver, not just to the OF portion.

Thanks,
