Please explain in the text above why it's a good idea to have this
driver.

Does it really have to be "early", rather than an initcall? Why?

Please change this to no longer use hardcoded addresses. A good
implementation would scan the device tree for the physical address
and then ioremap the registers in the init function, in order to
save a local __iomem pointer.
