Just a side note, I usually sort headers alphabetically, but feel free to use
whatever convention you like.

That's not good. You shouldn't have global constants like that. The value
should instead be stored in your device structure, that you will need to pass
around to all functions.

Maybe ipipeif_read() and ipipeif_write() ?

Please define constants in a header file for register values, masks and shifts
instead of hardcoding the raw numbers.

I'm not sure to like this. You're registering a module for a device that
essentially sits there without doing anything, except providing functions that
can be called by other modules.
I somehow feel that the way the code is split amongst the different layers
isn't optimal. Could you briefly explain the rationale behind the current
architecture ?
(BTW, please use the module_platform_driver() macro instead of
module_init/module_exit)

This header file defines part of the userspace API, but includes media/
headers that are not exported to userspace.
Header files should be split between 3 directories:
- Definitions required by platform data used to go to media/ but the new
include/linux/platform_data/ directory might be preferred nowadays. I have no
strong opinion on this, as other headers are already in media/ you can
probably keep using it for now.
- Definitions requires by userspace should go to include/linux/
- The rest should go to drivers/media/platform/davinci/.
