I don't see a point in making it more generic than it already is. Other
people's devices generate interrupts or have several mappings. Since these
drivers are so small, especially when using uio_pdrv, it doesn't make sense
to make it more generic.

Just make your driver clean and simple, then refer to it in the docs as one
possible example.
Thanks,
