Please don't use ioremap_uc() in new code, we are in the (long)
process of removing it from the kernel for everything except
x86-32, and it already returns NULL on most of them.
Would the normal ioremap() work for you here? It seems to
do the same thing as ioremap_uc() on mips and a couple of
other architectures that have not yet killed it off.
