OK, I failed to see that it's really pcim_iomap() which is called
multiple times for the same bar.

The warning itself is harmless, so it's not urgent.
Cleanup is always done through devres callbacks, one per resource. The
table is not used for that, just for accessors of existing mappings. So
at first glance I think that removing the WARN_ON would be OK. I'd like
to hear Bjorn's opinion on that, though.

Maybe you could investigate removing pcim_iomap_table() from this
driver, obtaining the mappings directly from calls to pcim_iomap().
Calling it multiple times for the same BAR is valid, it's just the
table which complains. Since you are the first party I ever hear from
about that WARN_ON. So with this driver ported one could argue that
removing it is justified..

Another possiblity could be to switch to unmanaged PCI. Use pci_iomap()
and pci_enable_device() etc.

In case you have lots of spare cycles, the cleanest way would be to
remove the legacy table altogether. To do so, one would have to port
all users of pcim_iomap_table(). I have worked on that for a while and
have removed many of them. The most difficult remaining users are AFAIR
in drivers/ata/
