I was having a look and it looks like generic empty pci_iomap and
pci_iounmap are already defined and is used only if CONFIG_PCI is not
defined and CONFIG_GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP is defined. So instead of adding
empty functions to each architecture where PCI is not supported maybe
the driver can have a dependency on CONFIG_GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP.
I have submitted the patch and you are in CC list. arch/sh had a similar
problem with the same driver.
