This cast loses the __iomem qualifier from clint_timer_val, which
triggers an sparse warning.

I'm not a native speaker, but the subject line sounds strange to me.
Shouldn't this be:

"don't cast away the __iommu annotation"

or something similar?

The title is also nonsense, I was probably trying to do two things at once when
I wrote this. I'll send another one.

Also this adds an overly long line. Otherwise it looks fine.

Aren't we OK with lines longer than 80 characters now? Or was that some other
project? checkpatch doesn't complain, which I guess is why I didn't notice, so
hopefully that means I'm not crazy (though I guess the commit message and title
don't provide the best argument there... ;)).
