So we are sharing this function:

void devm_ioremap_release(struct device *dev, void *res)
{
	iounmap(*(void __iomem **)res);
}

and we want to hide it, and for that we are moving a lot of PCI-specific
stuff into lib/devres.c. If anything, I'd say we should move more PCI
stuff _out_ of lib/devres.c, and if we wait to make local copy and call
it devm_pci_cfgspace_release() that woudl be fine with me.

Anyway, up to the maintainers.

Thanks.
