Ooh, yes, lets.

I don't think you want to share the devmem inode for this, this should
be based off the sysfs inode which I believe there is already only one
instance per resource. In contrast /dev/mem can have multiple inodes
because anyone can just mknod a new character device file, the same
problem does not exist for sysfs.
