Send two separate patches.  You can't "fix" sparse warnings.  You can
only "fix" bugs.  The rest is add annotation, doing cleanups or possibly
silencing warnings.

[ millions of lines of warnings snipped.  ]

This changelog is a bit rubbish because it's just copy and pasted
warnings for things that didn't change.

Don't put this in the changelog.

I haven't looked.  What is the type for ->screen_base and why can't it
be declared as __iomem type?

You're saying this is a bug in the original code.  Are you positive?
The changelog should have explained your thinking here.  Same for all
the iomem changes.
