Agreed. OTOH, we all know that spatch results still need to be carefully
checked. I suspect trying to teach it all the formatting rules of the
kernel isn't an easy task.

In that particular case, we maybe should consider separate inline
helpers instead of passing this is a parameter.

Maybe it would even be more efficient to have completely separate
versions of devm_platform_ioremap_resource(), so we don't even have
to pass that parameter on stack.
