From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

Data allocated with devm_ioremap or devm_ioremap_nocache should not be
freed using iounmap, because doing so causes a dangling pointer, and a
subsequent double free.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@r@
expression x;
@@
(
 x = devm_ioremap(...)
|
 x = devm_ioremap_nocache(...)
)

@@
expression r.x;
@@
* iounmap(x)
// </smpl>
