Of course, I just pointed out what the map call should look like

Something like this

 	priv->regs = crb_map_res(dev, priv, &io_res, buf->control_address -
 		offsetof(struct crb_regs, ctrl_req),
 	   	sizeof(struct crb_regs));
        ctrl = &priv->regs.ctrl_req;

If the driver is going to be using a negative offset like this, then
it very much should validate the assumptions before doing it.

and not even map these regsiters if they are not supported by
hardware.
