Hey Andrzej,

Sorry for the late response. I was OOO :)
I tried using the code you mentioned. It translates (in the very specific
case of MTL + GOP driver) to phys_base == 0080_0000h. Unfortunately, it
results in a corrupted screen -- the framebuffer is filled with zeros.

It seems like `i915_vma_pin_ww` already reserves and binds the GEM BO to the
correct address space independently of the value of `phys_base`.
The only thing `phys_base` affects is the value of `stolen->start`
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_stolen.c#L747

So it seems to me that the maybe `phys_base` is named incorrectly and that it
does not reflect the physical address, but the start offset of
i915->mm.stolen_region.

I'm happy to run more tests / debug further.
Do you have more ideas of things to try?


Many thanks,
Paz
