Yes, I agree, and admire your insistence on the thing you think right or
better. Learn from you.

When you suggested this in my v2 post, I made a draft patch at below link
according to your suggestion to request people to review. What worried
me is that I am not sure it's ignored or disliked after one week of
waiting.

Up to now, seems people don't oppose this generic_ioremap_prot() way, we
can take it. So what's your plan? You want me to continue with your
patches wrapped in, or I can leave it to you if you want to take over?

Thanks
Baoquan
