I have been offline for a while so have not followed all the threads on
this. So may comments below may well be addressed but I failed to see
it.

If the point about fb_sync is already addressed/considered then:

Good to see this workaround gone again!

So far everything looks good.

screen_base is a char __iomem * - so this cast looks semi redundant.

Same comment as below about fb_sync.

The fbdev variant call the fb_sync callback here.
noveau and gma500 implments the fb_sync callback - but no-one else.

When we rewrite this part to use dma_buf_map_memcpy_to() then we can
merge the two variants of helper_{sys,cfb}_read()?
Which is part of the todo - so OK
