This looks like a bug fix that should be backported to older kernels,
so it would be good to add 'Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org' below your
Signed-off-by.

There are plans to move the uart location into a fixed virtual
address in the future, but it hasn't been decided yet.
It will still need a fixed mapping though, just to a different
address.

It's quite likely that this does not have to be a fixed mapping
any more. Just have a look at how drivers/clocksource/dw_apb_timer_of.c
calls of_iomap() to get the address.

This address would not need a fixed mapping by calling l2x0_of_init
rather than l2x0_init.

And your patch 3 already obsoletes this mapping.
