Please do not do this, there are core kernel calls for this, otherwise
this would be required by every individual driver, which would be crazy.

Try it and see.  What's wrong with the normal iomem read/write
functions?

Also, just writing to a pointer like you did above is not how to do
this, please use the normal function calls, that way your driver will
work properly.
