Hi,
When trying to declare and use DT reserved memory region on ARM
(OMAP3), dma_declare_coherent_memory() fails in memremap(). This is
from today's master:

device *dev)

if (rmem->priv)
return 0;

return -ENOMEM;

It turns out that dma_init_coherent_memory calls memremap with
MEMREMAP_WC flag, which is disallowed for RAM IIUC.
Right. If you want to use a memory region as coherent DMA memory, then
that same region can't be System RAM, because System RAM is usually
mapped in a non-coherent fashion.
I quickly hacked some code to fix the issue, but as memremap API is
relatively new(esp to me), I wonder if this is the correct way to go:

Does the above code looks sane? How to fix the problem if not?
AFAIK dma_declare_coherent_memory() should only be used on physical
addresses which don't already have a CPU virtual mapping. Certainly
returning (potentially) cached memory as DMA coherent is asking for
trouble.
I think what you want to do is add a "no-map;" property to your
reserved-memory region in DT. That will stop the kernel from using it
as System RAM, leaving it free for your framebuffer.
