nit: Have we simplified the interface for devm_memremap_pages() at
this point, or are you talking about later patches in this series.

I checked this and all the called functions are exported symbols, so
there is no blocker for a future driver to call devm_memremap_pages(),
maybe even with all this boiler plate, in future.

If we eventually get many users that need some simplified registration
then we should add a devm_memremap_pages_simplified() interface and
factor out that code when we can see the pattern.
