Yes, but it's not geared towards the hardware I have (Rpi Model 4B)

While I am looking into what's the reason behind the hunk, without which 
the devices cannot get registered... This is not related to the 40bit 
support for DMA. I remember that it worked without it during the 
bcm2835-isp development.

Are you implying that I should not use RPi Model 4B for testing ? 
Because that's the only RPi hardware I own.
