devm_ioremap_resource() prefers calling devm_request_mem_region() with a
resource name instead of a device name -- this looks pretty iff a resource
name isn't specified via a device tree with a "reg-names" property (in this
case, a resource name is set to a device node's full name), but if it is,
it doesn't really scale since these names are only unique to a given device
node, not globally; so, looking at the output of 'cat /proc/iomem', you do
not have an idea which memory region belongs to which device (see "dirmap",
"regs", and "wbuf" lines below):
08000000-0bffffff : dirmap
48000000-bfffffff : System RAM
48000000-48007fff : reserved
48080000-48b0ffff : Kernel code
48b10000-48b8ffff : reserved
48b90000-48c7afff : Kernel data

e6053000-e605304f : gpio@e6053000
e6054000-e605404f : gpio@e6054000
e6055000-e605504f : gpio@e6055000
e6060000-e606050b : pin-controller@e6060000
e6e60000-e6e6003f : e6e60000.serial
e7400000-e7400fff : ethernet@e7400000
ee200000-ee2001ff : regs
ee208000-ee2080ff : wbuf
I think that devm_request_mem_region() should be called with dev_name()
despite the region names won't look as pretty as before (however, we gain
more consistency with e.g. the serial driver:
08000000-0bffffff : ee200000.rpc
48000000-bfffffff : System RAM
48000000-48007fff : reserved

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
