What are the exact alignment requirements on these structures,
do you ever need to have them on odd addresses? If not, please
remove the __packed, or add __aligned() with the actual alignment,
e.g. __aligned(4), to let the compiler create better code and
avoid bytewise accesses.

Can you add a comment here to explain what the 'dummy' device is
needed for?

The _nocache() postfix is not needed here, and I find it a bit
confusing, just use plain ioremap, or maybe even
devm_platform_ioremap_resource() to save the
platform_get_resource_byname().

This looks a bit dangerous if you can ever get to the point of
having a pending interrupt. before the structure is fully initialized.
This can probably not happen in practice, but it's better to request
the interrupts last to be on the safe side.

Since you are waiting here, you clearly can't be called
from interrupt context, or with interrupts disabled, so it's
clearer to use spin_lock_irq() instead of spin_lock_irqsave().

I generally try to avoid the _irqsave versions altogether, unless
it is really needed for a function that is called both from
irq-disabled and irq-enabled context.
