Hi, Greg, Arnd, Thank you for your comments first, and then really very very very sorry for driving Greg to sigh and I hope there would be chance to share Moutai (rather than whisky, we drink it much, a kind of Baijiu), after the virus. Back to the comments, I'd like to do a bit of documentation or explanation first, which should have been done early or else there would not be so much to explain: 1. What I have been trying to do is to access the Freescale Cache-SRAM device form user level; 2. I implemented it using UIO, which was thought of non-proper;
I still think that using uio is the best way to do this, and never said it was "non-proper". All we got bogged down in was the DT representation of stuff from what I remember. That should be worked through. thanks, greg k-h
