In newer drivers that are specific to powerpc, it's often easier
to use the of_iomap() function to map a device, so you don't
have to calculate the base address manually from the device tree.

Actually not. While they may work, the __raw_* functions do not have
a specific meaning in device drivers. Depending on the I/O model, they
may or may not work on a given platform. The {in,out}_{8,{be,le}{16,32,64}}
functions however are defined to operate on local (not PCI) ioremapped
mmio devices, and are usually more efficient than the {read,write}{b,w,l,q}
variant you'd use on PCI devices.
