Many drivers can simplified by using devm_ioremap_resource() instead of open coding its functionality. However, as pointed by Wei Yongjun, that function cannot be used when memory region is already taken. See previous discussion here: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-pci/msg68495.html To ease job of driver developers, new function for that purpose is implemented and its usage shown. Also, there are few cleanup patches, which may bring some controversy, but seemed usefull to do along the way. Feel free to object or suggest something else. Thank you.
