I see what you're doing and it's probably correct in this case.
But there's a larger issue with this iosys interfaces. Sometimes the
address has to be modified (see calls of iosys_map_incr()). That can
prevent incorrect uses of the mapping in other places, especially in
unmap code.
using a initializer for the cases it's needed IMO would make these kind
of problems go away, because then the intent is explicit
I think it would make sense to consider a separate structure for the
I/O location. The buffer as a whole would still be represented by
struct iosys_map. And that new structure, let's call it struct
iosys_ptr, would point to an actual location within the buffer's
sounds fine to me, but I'd have to take a deeper look later (or when
someone writes the patch). It seems we'd replicate almost the entire
API to just accomodate the 2 structs. And the different types will lead
to confusion when one or the other should be used
I think we can split the current interface onto two categories:
mapping and I/O. The former would use iosys_map and the latter would
use iosys_ptr. And we'd need a helper that turns gets a ptr for a
given map.
If I find the tine, I'll probably type up a patch.
This sound fine and interesting.
I don't have enough time to do this, as I'm focus on developing driver
for my company's hardware.
But I will keep an eye on it, see what interesting will be happen.
Becuase the fbdev related code will also be used on my company's
ls7a1000 and ls7a2000 platform.
It is useful and interesting, Our device at least can functional as a
big frame buffer and more than framebuffer.
The bandwidth for VRAM write is very high(when write combine is open).
at least 10+ times batter than aspeed bmc.
glxgear on ls3a5000@2.5ghz+ls7a1000 can run above 1000+fps. while with
the aspeed bmc it is just 100+ fps all so.

memory range. A few locations and helpers would need changes, but
there are not so many callers that it's an issue. This would also
allow for a few debugging tests that ensure that iosys_ptr always
operates within the bounds of an iosys_map.
I've long considered this idea, but there was no pressure to work on
it. Maybe now.
Best regards
