Okay, at bare minimum this must be commented in the code (like the above summary). Ideally it should be done differently as the resource regions should not be shared (it's an exceptional case and usually shows bad design of the driver). If you can't really split, regmap APIs help with that (and they also may provide an adequate serialisation to IO). -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko
