Hi Stephen,

Although I already 'Reviewed' this, I noticed another problem when I
went to look again:

You're making this a devm_* ioremap, but coreboot_table_exit() will
handle unmapping this for you already. So you're introducing a potential
double-unmap.

...and since I had a *real* comment, I'll mention this bit I noticed
previously...this diff seems a bit superfluous. I understand we don't
really want to extend this list beyond the NULL terminator, but
normally, I'd expect we leave it alone.
