Can you explain this a bit more?  We've very much deprecated
ioremap_cache in favor of memremap.  Why yo you need a __iomem address
here?  Why do we need the remap here at all?

Does the data structure at this address not have any types that we
could use a struct for?

This seems to duplicate the above code.

This probably wants a kerneldoc explaining when it should be used.
