On the V4 of this set the above line was:

+       void *ptr = rproc_da_to_va(rproc, segment->da + offset, copy_size);

Back then both Bjorn and I had RB'ed this set and all that was required was a
rebase to linux-next.  On V5 and V6 our RBs have been removed, the above has
been changed and an iounmap() was been added below.  Yet nothing in the cover
letter provides an explanation that justifies the modification.

What is going on here?
