Yes, most (all?) macros in this file rely on ioaddr being implicitly
defined in the surrounding scope.

ioaddr is lp->base:

	void __iomem *ioaddr = lp->base;

but the type information for ioaddr gets lost across multiple macro
boundaries which is why either __ioaddr or lp->base must be used when
calling the SMC_* macros. Both __ioaddr and lp->base work, but I guess
you prefer lp->base? I'm fine with both.

Ok, I'll change this in v2.

Thanks,
