I guess you did fine with UPIO_MEM32.

Keeping the UPIO_MEM32 approach, I suggest also to fiddle Y/N with
CONFIG_SWAP_IO_SPACE (might be that you have it set to Y while you don't
really need it, or vice versa).
This is since 'readl' uses 'ioswabl' for (potential) byte-swapping of the read
value. Take a look at asm/io.h and mangle-port.h.

Most important, read your hardware documentation to determine correct access
to the memory mapped serial registers.
