Hi Sascha,
I just realized i2c registers are mapped twice. It's first static mapped at
mx5x_io_desc and second mapped in driver.
Drivers always feel happy to receive physical address in resource, and ioremap
it itself. We might static map too many register regions in machine level?
I'm sure it's not just i2c.
Thanks
Richard

There are some devices which use the static mappings, like watchdog (for
reset), irq controller, gpt. Otherwise you are right. Feel free to cleanup
here if you think there are unnecessary mappings.

either cleanup the mapping, or add a custom ioremap() to return this
region for the drivers.
