The patch fixes the aty driver for all architectures, including the
ones that were already broken before your series with the 'return NULL'
version.

The only other callers of ioremap_uc() and devm_ioremap_uc() are
in architecture specific code and in drivers/mfd/intel-lpss.c, which
is x86 specific.
