The variable i contains a total number of resources (including
IORESOURCE_IRQ). However, we want the dmem_region_start to point
after the last resource of type IORESOURCE_MEM. The original behaviour
leads (very likely) to skipping several UIO mapping regions and makes
them useless. Fix this by computing dmem_region_start from the uiomem
which points to the last used UIO mapping.

Fixes: 0a0c3b5a24bd ("Add new uio device for dynamic memory allocation")

Why isn't this patch first in the series, with a stable marking, and
your signed off on it (you are forwarding it on to me, so you need to
add your mark to it as well, I can't take it otherwise.)

Are you sure about this?  It doesn't look correct at first glance, I'm
loath to take this without a bunch of testing.  Were you able to test
this out to verify it doesn't break working hardware?

thanks,
