I see what you're doing and it's probably correct in this case.
But there's a larger issue with this iosys interfaces. Sometimes the
address has to be modified (see calls of iosys_map_incr()). That can
prevent incorrect uses of the mapping in other places, especially in
unmap code.
using a initializer for the cases it's needed IMO would make these kind
of problems go away, because then the intent is explicit
I think it would make sense to consider a separate structure for the
I/O location. The buffer as a whole would still be represented by
struct iosys_map. And that new structure, let's call it struct
iosys_ptr, would point to an actual location within the buffer's
sounds fine to me, but I'd have to take a deeper look later (or when
someone writes the patch). It seems we'd replicate almost the entire
API to just accomodate the 2 structs. And the different types will lead
to confusion when one or the other should be used

memory range. A few locations and helpers would need changes, but
there are not so many callers that it's an issue. This would also
allow for a few debugging tests that ensure that iosys_ptr always
operates within the bounds of an iosys_map.
I've long considered this idea, but there was no pressure to work on
it. Maybe now.
