I agree that something is broken, however ioremap may fail for dozen of
reasons. Ignoring the retval is a *bad* idea and it took me a while to
sort out what is wrong. Especially if one has no console like throughout
suspend. If it was handled properly, I would know immediately. (There
should be a message printed out which I forgot to add.)

I actually did, there is:
In-Reply-To: <201101060028.43342.rjw@...k.pl>
and it successfully threaded to the conversation for me in TB.

ioremap *is* ioremap_nocache on x86. And that's the conflict it
complains about I guess? Don't you mean ioremap_cache?

It fails because of conflicting maps as can be seen in the photo. At
least I think so.
