Sorry, i cannot remember the whole discussion but why we can use different compatible here instead of using ARM specific stuff. compatible = "brcm,bcm2836-vchiq", "brcm,bcm2835-vchiq"; // for BCM2836/7 compatible = "brcm,bcm2835"; // only for BCM2835 > g_fragments_size = 2 * g_cache_line_size; > > /* Allocate space for the channels in coherent memory */
