Why was this backported? It doesn't look like a bugfix to me.

Could you explain why it fails? The region is clearly part of system
memory, and tagged as no-map, so the patch in itself is not
unreasonable. However, we obviously have code that relies on how the
region is represented in /proc/iomem, so it would be helpful to get
some insight into why this is the case.
In any case, the mere fact that this causes a regression should be
sufficient justification to revert/withdraw it from v5.4, as I don't
see a reason why it was merged there in the first place. (It has no
fixes tag or cc:stable)
