Hello Paul,

I took a look at the sm501 patch and see your concern.

The ioremap change to use resource_size looks ok. But the two request_mem_region
changes are an issue due to the point you mentioned above.

The patches to t7166xb and tc6393xb both appear to be ok. They do not have the
same issue.

Regards,
Hartley
