Are you avoiding the political BUG_ON(!iim_base) ? :) Since a NULL pointer there will lead to a NULL pointer dereference, it's silly to use WARN_ON() there - we'll get a backtrace etc from the WARN_ON followed immediately by an oops dump due to the readl(), crashing the kernel. Better to just use BUG_ON() and only get one set of diagnostics.

Thanks, will do it in v2.
