The usual problem with long patch series like this: The introductory mail
PATCH 0/xx explains this nicely, but it's not possible to put everyone
on Cc because then it gets rejected by vger for overly long mail headers.

We had a discussion about the function name earlier, but could not come
up with one that isn't too bulky but still carries the same meaning
as devm_request_and_ioremap() with a different symbol.
