  Yep, I see these too. They're a side effect of storing the i2c_client
pointer in vendor->iobase, which is __iomem.  The i2c_client struct
isn't __iomem at all though, writes in the i2c subsystem are done
through client->addr.  So i2c_client should really be stored somewhere
else, no?

  vendor->data seems like the right place.  I'm on the hook to update
the other drivers with a macro for accessing vendor->data in tpm.h.
I'll make these updates and send out a patch.
