This would fail if OCOTP driver probes first and claims the memory area
with request_mem_region() (or devm_request_mem_region(), used in
__devm_ioremap_resource() which is called from devm_of_iomap()). I ran
into this with ANATOP, which is the other iomap()d device here. The
of_iomap() does not use request_mem_region(), so it can map the area.

All right, let's do this in separate 3/3 patch , because the amount of
changes in this one patch are growing to be too much and difficult to
review.

soc_device_match() returns a pointer to soc_device_attribute or NULL, do
you have some other function in mind ?

It seems OK.
