Subject: RE: Using uio_pdrv to create an platform device for an FPGA, mmap()
 fails

Thanks for the reply, Hans. Your question about opening /dev/uio0 O_RDWR
prompted me to check out how I was creating /dev/uio0 ... my system
isn't using udev, and I was accidentally creating it with major/minor
number 254/0 instead of the correct 253/0 (found by looking at
/proc/devices). Fixed that and the mmap() call started working.

Verified that if /dev/uio0 has permissions 0644, root can open it O_RDWR
and mmap PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE using the below code and write to an
address within my memory map. Of course this contradicts the statement
"/dev/uioX is a read-only file" in the UIO howto.

Including my updated, tested code for completeness.
Note I also cleaned up the device registration a little by
using a different platform_device_register_ call and removing fields
in the struct uio_info that get filled in by uio_pdrv automatically.
