We get the following feedback from Arnd about this patch. Could you respond to the comments?

"This patch looks very suspicious to me, I don't think it's generally safe to
use memcpy_toio() on a normal pointer, as the __iomem tokens may
be in a separate address range, even though this currently works
on arm64. Adding the (__iomem void *) cast without a comment that
explains why it's added seems similarly wrong, and finally the
changeset text does not seem to match what the code does:

According to the text, the pointer is to a virtual address mapped as
"device memory" (i.e. PROT_DEVICE_nGnRE or PROT_DEVICE_nGnRnE),
but the code suggests it's actually write-combining normal
(PROT_NORMAL_NC)."
