Hi,

In $subject, use MMIO instead of mmio.

I think it is worth mentioning that this is actually a BIOS bug and
fixed by some vendors via BIOS upgrade.

Can you add a comment here explaining why this particular driver needs
to use _uc version? Normally drivers call the plain devm_ioremap() and
expect to get non-cached memory, however ioremap() (which resolves to
ioremap_nocache()) does not touch x86 PAT configuration which is the
reason we need to call _uc variant here.

Otherwise looks good to me.
