Did you initialize 'baseaddr' to NULL?

A few more recommendations. It is usually bad practice to use hard-coded
device addresses. If you like the convinience of libio-io you can use
l4io_lookup_device() to get a device handle which you can use to iterate
the device resources with l4vbus_get_resource().
