I don't particularly care about devmem2, but it was not here just for
"backwards compatibility". It was there also for the cases where people
don't want to use Busybox, but still need a devmem implementation. I'm
not sure how much this use case is important, though.

Peter, could you take a decision on this ?

Thanks!

Thomas
