This, in itself, it not an issue. 

The issue comes when you wrote code like this:

+	return ics307_clk_freq (
+			in_8(pixis_base + PIXIS_VSYSCLK0),
+			in_8(pixis_base + PIXIS_VSYSCLK1),
+			in_8(pixis_base + PIXIS_VSYSCLK2)
+			);
+}
+
+unsigned long get_board_ddr_clk(void)
+{
+	u8 *pixis_base = (u8 *)PIXIS_BASE;
+
+	return ics307_clk_freq (
+			in_8(pixis_base + PIXIS_VDDRCLK0),
+			in_8(pixis_base + PIXIS_VDDRCLK1),
+			in_8(pixis_base + PIXIS_VDDRCLK2)
+			);

This clearly gets a NAK because you should use a struct, and not base
address + offset notation.

I see #defines here, no structs.

I'm not sure if you need different structs (haven't looked into
these), or if clever notation of the struct is sufficient.

Best regards,
