Yes. This driver was a module before I noticed that I then would have to
keep track in genalloc to avoid module unloading while some SRAM is
allocated. It seemed a bit too invasive.

Sure, I'll just s/ARM // then.

See the clock patch. I'm not sure if further functionality will be
needed on any architecture.

No, a global variable would mean that only one instance of the SRAM
driver can be used. What about chips that have separate SRAM regions?

Memory allocated by devm_kzalloc should be freed by the devres
framework. If I am missing something, could you please elaborate?

I can do that.
