Hi Steffen!
I'm not clear on how the EDAC driver will interact with the registers
allocated to the SDRAM controller. If the group of registers from
0xffc25000 to 0xffc26000 is exclusively allocated to the SDRAM
controller, how does the EDAC driver cleanly access that single
register inside this range?
Is the solution that I don't use request_region() (and therefore not
request exclusive access) when setting up the SDRAM controller?
If you could point me to your drivers for the other bridges that you
reference, your code may answer my question.
Thanks for your comments and insight.
Thor
