No worries:
/usr/bin/ld: drivers/iio/adc/adi-axi-adc.o: in function `adi_axi_adc_probe':
torvalds-linux/drivers/iio/adc/adi-axi-adc.c:415: undefined reference
to `devm_platform_ioremap_resource'

Alas, the devm_platform_ioremap_resource function isn't handled by the
UML stubs: it all seems to be in drivers/base/platform.c and
lib/devres.c, behind #ifdef HAS_IOMEM.

In any case, improving IOMEM support for UML (at least for the KUnit
test case, which is my use case) is something I'd like to do. There
are only three drivers[1,2] upstream at the moment which fail to build
as-is, though, so it seemed worth trying to fix them in the meantime.
That being said, I tried just getting rid of the few #ifdef HAS_IOMEMs
around the various devm_*_ioremap functions, and everything seems to
be working... So maybe that's a false dependency given the various
stubs (at least on UML). I used this (hideously hacky) patch:

If this seems to work more broadly, I may try to clean it up and post
it for broader review.
