Fair enough; but not in this patch set.  This series is working
support for bestcomm.  To go to the more generic level of being used
by multiple parts should be done in a separate series.

Again; I agree, but I'm not going to make that change in this series.

To be done when this driver is changed to support multiple sram regions.

I'll take a look

I don't think so.  ->base_phys is of type phys_addr_t;
(va-bcom_sram->base_virt) is just an offset from ->base_phys.
