The problem is that on ARCH_MULTI_V7, ARCH_VEXPRESS is forcefully
enabled. And ARCH_VEXPRESS selects NO_IOPORT.. so you don't have the
pcim_*() functions, and therefore libata-sff.c (needed for many SATA
drivers) will not build. How do you solve this?

I'm not sure which devm_pci_iomap() you're referring to since my patch
makes only the pcim_iomap_table(), pcim_iomap(), pcim_iounmap(),
pcim_iomap_regions(), pcim_iomap_regions_request_all() and
pcim_iounmap_regions() available under CONFIG_PCI instead of CONFIG_PCI
&& CONFIG_HAS_IOPORT.

So maybe you were referring to pcim_iomap(). I haven't checked in
details, but I guess it builds because ioport_map() is implemented in
arch/arm/mm/iomap.c.

Best regards,

Thomas
