Hi Hans,
Thanks for your prompt response.
I had a good look at the vbva_enable() function's definition and to
the best of my knowledge, changing vbva's type from 'struct
vbva_buffer *' to 'u8 __iomem *' wouldn't work.
vbva_enable() relies on vbva's type being a pointer to 'struct vbva_buffer':
vbva's memory gets set to zero;
some of vbva's members are initialised to particular values;
vbva_ctx->vbva expects vbva to be a pointer to 'struct vbva_buffer' as well;
Or am I misreading this?
What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks.
Alexander.
