Although these pointers are properly declared with the __iomem
marker, the code in some places fails to specify the __iomem
qualifier.

For example, be_mbox_db_ring(), be_mbox_db_ready_wait().

I am sure there are others.

If you check your driver's build with sparse it will warn about these
kinds of problems.
