I like the idea of combining both patches into one.

There are other fbdev drivers that use iomem (found by grepping for 
"devm_ioremap_resource"):

CONFIG_FB_S3C (s3c-fb.c)

CONFIG_FB_CLPS711X (clps711x-fb.c)

CONFIG_FB_JZ4740 (jz4740_fb.c)

CONFIG_FB_DA8XX (da8xx-fb.c)

CONFIG_FB_WM8505 (wm8505fb.c)

CONFIG_OMAP2_VRFB (omap2/omapfb/vrfb.c)

CONFIG_FB_OMAP2 (omap2/omapfb/dss/*

CONFIG_FB_MXS (mxsfb.c)

CONFIG_PXA3XX_GCU (pxa3xx-gcu.c)

CONFIG_FB_XILINX (xilinxfb.c)


All of these are already fenced off by architecture dependencies (which 
I am assuming enables CONFIG_HAS_IOMEM by default). If we want to be 
cautious I can add HAS_IOMEM dependency for all of them.

Thanks
