I checked a bunch of arch-specific implementations of ioremap_prot()
and they're already doing this.  As far as I can tell, only csky and
riscv actually use this file (CONFIG_GENERIC_IOREMAP=y).  But you're
ARM(?) so I'm wondering how come you're patching it?

Someone should do s/addr/phys_addr/ in this function, like the rest of
the world (sensibly) does.
