I have to say that I wouldn't infer from that comment that there is any
reason why _byname() won't work - one would generally expect that a
get_resource_by_name() followed by an ioremap() of that resource would
be equivalent to the combined helper.  Based on the commit log here I
frankly have no idea what the issue is.  You should also add something
to the code which makes it clear what the issue is so the same
conversion isn't performed again, assuming that the fix isn't in the
helper.

You're missing the commit here.

Please include human readable descriptions of things like commits and
issues being discussed in e-mail in your mails, this makes them much
easier for humans to read especially when they have no internet access.
I do frequently catch up on my mail on flights or while otherwise
travelling so this is even more pressing for me than just being about
making things a bit easier to read.
