I think this needs to be

static void __iomem **pcc_doorbell_vaddr.

You really should use the 'sparse' tool on your patches to make sure
that you have correct __iomem usage.  Pointers that are passed to
readl() and writel() should be __iomem pointers, and they should be
allocated with ioremap().  However, I noticed that you're not doing
that:

Once again, this should be "void __iomem *vaddr".

Remember, functions like readb(), writeb(), readl(), writel(), etc,
should only be used on pointers allocated via ioremap(), however ...

... this is wrong.  You're using readl() and writel() on this pointer,
but it's not an iomem pointer, it's normal kernel memory.  You need to
delete your usage of readX, writeX on this pointer.
