The current ioremap() code uses a phys_addr variable at each level of page table, which is confusingly offset by subtracting the base virtual address being mapped so that adding the current virtual address back on when iterating through the page table entries gives back the corresponding physical address. This is fairly confusing and results in all users of phys_addr having to add the current virtual address back on. Instead, this patch just updates phys_addr when iterating over the page table entries, ensuring that it's always up-to-date and doesn't require explicit offsetting.

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.
