In the existing code base, this macro converts a register offset to
an __iomem pointer for a gpio register. I changed the definition of the
macro here to keep the number of changes down, but I it's just
as easy to remove it if you prefer.

It could be, but it's the same for each instance, and not known until
probe() time, so the same pointer would need to be copied into each
instance that is otherwise read-only.

Let me know if you'd prefer me to rework these two things or leave
them as they are.

Sure.
