ARM64 currently defaults to posted MMIO (nGnRE), but some devices require the use of non-posted MMIO (nGnRnE). Introduce a new ioremap() variant to handle this case. ioremap_np() returns NULL on arches that do not implement this variant. sparc64 is the only architecture that needs to be touched directly, because it includes neither of the generic io.h or iomap.h headers. This adds the IORESOURCE_MEM_NONPOSTED flag, which maps to this variant and marks a given resource as requiring non-posted mappings. This is implemented in the resource system because it is a SoC-level requirement, so existing drivers do not need special-case code to pick this ioremap variant. Then this is implemented in devres by introducing devm_ioremap_np(), and making devm_ioremap_resource() automatically select this variant when the resource has the IORESOURCE_MEM_NONPOSTED flag set.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
