The change looks good, it's definitely a step in the right
direction.

I think you can go even further:

* A straightforward change would be to move davinci_sysmodbase
  into a local variable of the davinci_setup_mmc function,
  which I believe is the only user. Then you can ioremap
  and iounmap it directly there.

* If you need to access sysmod in multiple places, a nicer
  way would be to make the virtual address pointer static,
  and export the accessor functions for it, rather than
  having a global pointer.
