A lot of other drivers (including /dev/mem) just use pgprot_noncached() or
pgprot_writecombine(), which would make the code portable and might be
what you want here as well.

pgprot_dmacoherent() is meant specifically for mapping RAM that is used
for DMA buffers that come from dma_alloc_coherent(), which doesn't seem
to be the case here.

What kind of address range is this really?

This should just use the "%pap" for printing a phys_addr_t, otherwise we
get the same warning on ARM in some configurations.
