That's not what I'm suggesting. AFAIK these Dell laptops are the only
ones with this problem, so if we accept this, I fear it means we have
to start maintaining DMI quirk table in the driver, and then:
if (dell)
ioremap_cache()
else
ioremap_nocache()
I was really hoping we could avoid that. Or is there something else we
can do in the driver?
I have no idea how the windows driver works, so I will double check
and test this next week, but our driver has really worked fine so far.
Thanks,
