In general, I agree with you, but the cases similar to this. Why?
Because memory resource retrieval and remapping has a lot of helpers,
some of which are enriched with own error handling and messaging.

Yes, we use devm_ioremap_uc(), which doesn't give that (yet?).
However, it will be more work if we, theoretically, switch to
something like devm_ioremap_resource() in the future.

Hence, I would like to have a common code to be in common place
and behave in the same way independently on the glue druver (PCI,
ACPI, etc).

Isn't what I have done in the series I sent last week?
