[PATCH] fbdev: xilinxfb: request memory region before mapping framebuffer

STALE276d

From: <hidden>
Date: 2025-12-16 08:05:37
Also in: dri-devel
Subsystem: framebuffer layer, the rest · Maintainers: Helge Deller, Linus Torvalds

From: DiviyamPathak <redacted>

The xilinxfb driver maps a physical framebuffer address with ioremap()
without first reserving the memory region. This can conflict with other
drivers accessing the same resource.

Request the memory region with devm_request_mem_region() before mapping
the framebuffer and use managed mappings for proper lifetime handling.

This addresses the fbdev TODO about requesting memory regions and avoids
potential resource conflicts.
