When we care about pagecache maintenance, we need to make sure that both f_mapping and i_mapping point at the right mapping. But for iomem mappings we only care about the virtual/pte side of things, so f_mapping is enough. Also setting inode->i_mapping was confusing me as a driver maintainer, since in e.g. drivers/gpu we don't do that. Per Dan this seems to be copypasta from places which do care about pagecache consistency, but not needed. Hence remove it for slightly less confusion.
