I think you've confused v1 with v3 (which was the first version to
include <asm/io.h>).

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20190819150341.GC9927@lakrids.cambridge.arm.com/
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20190819150341.GC9927@lakrids.cambridge.arm.com/

I guess as v1 was part of a reply (without the mail subject matching)
that might have confused things? Sorry about that if so!

Assuming that you mean *v3* with that fix, that looks good to me!

Thanks,
Mark.
