Hello,

while replying to to patch 02, I noticed yet another thing.

_REG gets (void __iomem *) twice.

Why not simply do:

	#define io_p2v(x)	(((((x) & 0xff000000) >> 4) | ((x) & 0xfffff)) | IO_BASE)

	#define _REG(x)		(void __iomem *)(io_p2v(x))

and get rid of IO_ADDRESS completely?  BTW, AFAIK IO_BASE isn't a needed
name, so it should have the LPC32XX_ prefix, too.

Best regards
Uwe
