Hi,

You're right Arvind, and still, it's worth noticing that the docg3 access
semantics imply a "reserved" resource path (see how doc_register_readb() does a
write and how this cannot be shared with another driver).

Therefore I'll be willing to ack a mix of your both patches, the
devm_ioremap_resource() from Boris and the error message from your patch.

Cheers.
