Thanks for your comments. I should check the whole code more
thoroughly. I do see that vpu->recv_buf is forced cast from void
__iomem *tcm:
vpu->recv_buf = (__force struct share_obj *)(vpu->reg.tcm +VPU_DTCM_OFFSET);
I'll use struct share_obj __iomem *recv_buf; as you suggested. Thanks

Since all handlers (vpu_init_ipi_handler, vpu_enc_ipi_handler,
vpu_dec_ipi_handler, and mtk_mdp_vpu_ipi_handler) only do read access
to this buffer, I think we can also change 'void *data' as 'const void
*data', and pass another buffer copied from vpu->recv_buf->share_buf
to handler. In this way we don't have to change to use iomem APIs in
those handlers.

 static void vpu_ipi_handler(struct mtk_vpu *vpu)
 {
-       struct share_obj *rcv_obj = vpu->recv_buf;
+       struct share_obj __iomem *rcv_obj = vpu->recv_buf;
        struct vpu_ipi_desc *ipi_desc = vpu->ipi_desc;
-
-       if (rcv_obj->id < IPI_MAX && ipi_desc[rcv_obj->id].handler) {
-               ipi_desc[rcv_obj->id].handler(rcv_obj->share_buf,...
...
+       unsigned char data[SHARE_BUF_SIZE];
+       s32 id = readl(&rcv_obj->id);
+
+       memcpy_fromio(data, rcv_obj->share_buf, sizeof(data));
+       if (id < IPI_MAX && ipi_desc[id].handler) {
+               ipi_desc[id].handler(data, readl(&rcv_obj->len), ...
...
