If its been mapped with ioremap() you know the physical address already so why do you need iopa().

That's what the original function immrbar_virt_to_phys() does. We're trying to get rid of it, because we thought is redundant with iopa().

static inline unsigned long immrbar_virt_to_phys(volatile void * address)
{
        if ( ((u32)address >= (u32)qe_immr) &&
                        ((u32)address < ((u32)qe_immr + QE_IMMAP_SIZE)) )
                return (unsigned long)(address - (u32)qe_immr +
                                (u32)get_qe_base());
        return (unsigned long)virt_to_phys(address);
}

get_qe_base() does a search of the OF tree the first time it's called.

Here's the code that calls immrbar_virt_to_phys():

        out_be32(&ugeth->p_send_q_mem_reg->sqqd[i].bd_ring_base,
                 (u32) immrbar_virt_to_phys(ugeth->
                                            p_tx_bd_ring[i]));


Would it be better to replace this code with something like this:

out_be32(&ugeth->p_send_q_mem_reg->sqqd[i].bd_ring_base,
        get_qe_base() + ((void *) ugeth->p_tx_bd_ring[i] - (void *) qe_immr));
