drivers/mtd/maps/ck804xrom.c is hardcoding the address as:

	window->phys = 0xff000000; /* 16MiB, hardcoded for now */

followed by:

	ioremap_nocache(window->phys, window->size);

And later I see something like:

#if 1
	/* The probe sequence run over the firmware hub lock
	 * registers sets them to 0x7 (no access).
	 * Probe at most the last 4MiB of the address space.
	 */
	if (map_top < 0xffc00000)
		map_top = 0xffc00000;
#endif

If they are only probing the last 4MB, the above window mapping can also be
reduced accordingly.

Copying some folks.

thanks,
