I am looking at refreshing these patches, and found that I missed responding to this message. These processors need to use their internal RAM for loading, which is not for generic usage by the kernel, so defining a CMA block for this memory doesn't make sense. > This may require some changes in remoteproc which we'll need to think > about, but it sounds like it may fit the problem better instead of > forcing ioremap to provide a regular pointer (we're supposed to use > ioremaped memory only with memory primitives such as readl/writel/..). Will it suffice to replace the memcpy() with memcpy_toio()? regards Suman -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
