There are two possible scenarios:
- drivers that we already know are shared between apple and
other vendors (s3c-serial, pasemi i2c) would need to use
nonposted mmio on Apple but can use either one on other
platforms. On non-ARM CPUs, the ioremap_np() function
might fail when the hardware only supports posted writes.
- A driver writer may want to choose between posted and
nonposted mmio based on performance considerations:
if writes are never serialized, posted writes should always
be faster. However, if the driver uses a spinlock to serialize
writes, then a nonposted write is likely faster than a posted
write followed by a read that serializes the spin_unlock.
In this case we want the driver to explicitly pick one over
the other, and not have rely on bus specific magic.

As far as I can tell, there are only a handful of soc specific drivers
that are actually shared with other platforms. Aside from serial
and i2c, these are the ones that I can see being shared:
- there is an on-chip nvme host controller that is not PCI. So far,
nobody else does this, but it can clearly happen in the future
- I think one of the USB controllers is a standard designware
part, while the others are PCI devices.
- The PCI host bridge may be close enough to the standard
that we can use the generic driver for config space access.
