I think there's no problem using the cast.  It's not a
pattern because it's not been required before as function
returns have not previously been declared __iomem.

Or, perhaps the arm|hexagon specific #define below could
be made generic so it could be used.

arch/arm/include/asm/io.h:#define IOMEM(x)	((void __force __iomem *)(x))

	return IOMEM(ERR_PTR(ret));

There aren't any current uses of return IOMEM(foo) either
though so the direct cast is probably more appropriate.
