Due to this we have pgprot_device() provided by asm/pgtable.h of arch/arm64. On architectures that do not have special MMU attribute for device memory/registers, the asm-generic/pgtable.h maps pgprot_device() to pgprot_noncached(). This patch introduces a new UIO mem region type UIO_MEM_DEVICE to represent device registers/memory. The UIO device drivers should prefer this new UIO mem region type for memory mapped device registers.
