vaddr name is wrong AFAICT. ioremap_allowed() returns __iomem address,
not the virtual one.

Same here.

iounmap_allowed() accepts void __iomem * and I that looks correct to me.

Passing void * on the other hand means you pass a pointer that
in theory differs from what architecture previously returned
with ioremap_allowed() and "knows" nothing about.

I think you need to pass addr to iounmap_allowed() as is.
