As far as I can tell, the code with this patch applied reduces to
(ignoring checks and such)

remap_pfn_range(vma, vma->vm_start,
(pdata->phys_mempool_base >> PAGE_SHIFT) + vma->vm_pgoff,
vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start,
vma->vm_page_prot);

whereas the original was

- status = remap_pfn_range(vma, vma->vm_start, vma->vm_pgoff,
- vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start,
- vma->vm_page_prot);
We're subtracting (pdata->phys_mempool_base >> PAGE_SHIFT) from
vma->vm_pgoff before calling vm_iomap_memory() to address the issue --
if that's satisfactory to everyone involved, I can submit the following
patch.

Subject: [PATCH] tidspbridge: fix last patch to map same region of physical
memory as before

Commit 559c71fe5dc3 ("Staging: TIDSPBRIDGE: Use vm_iomap_memory for
mmap-ing instead of remap_pfn_range") had the effect of inadvertently
shifting the start of the physical memory area mapped by
pdata->phys_mempool_base. Correct this by subtracting that shift before
calling vm_iomap_memory() and adding it back afterwards.
