Maybe I've been out of the loop for too long, but why is that a particular problem with this driver?
It is usually something you'd want to check in general to make sure that you don't have multiple device that access the same iomem region at the same time.
I understand that, but I'm trying to figure out why of_iomap() is okay for hundreds of other drivers, but not this one. I've used it dozens of times myself, without ever worrying about overlapping regions.
