This patch makes sense and should be applied.
But the errno is most like EPERM so maybe:
	rc = -errno;

PS: /dev/mem is a bad idea, Linux kernel config often disables
it in distributions. Not sure why this driver can't use UIO or VFIO
like normal devices. This should have been caught during code review.
