The Bestcomm driver requests a memory region larger than the one described in the device tree. This is due to an extra undocumented field in the bestcomm register structure. This hasn't been a problem up to now, but there is a patch pending to make the DT platform_bus support code use platform_device_add() which tightens the rules and provides extra checks for drivers to stay within the specified register regions. Alternately, I could have removed the extra field from the structure, but I'm not sure if it is still needed for resume to work. Better be safe and leave it in.

There is a patch moving this driver to drivers/dma, http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/191153/ I've applied it to my 5xxx next branch.

similar change is needed for release_mem_region() in error path and in driver's remove() function. Thanks, Anatolij
