Named resources are evil. You only have to look at /proc/iomem to see why that's the case. Here's an example: b7a01000-b7a01003 : set b7a01000-b7a01003 : set b7a01004-b7a01007 : dat b7a01004-b7a01007 : dat b7a01008-b7a0100b : dirout b7a01008-b7a0100b : dirout b7a01020-b7a01023 : set b7a01020-b7a01023 : set b7a01024-b7a01027 : dat b7a01024-b7a01027 : dat b7a01028-b7a0102b : dirout b7a01028-b7a0102b : dirout b7a01040-b7a01043 : set b7a01040-b7a01043 : set b7a01044-b7a01047 : dat b7a01044-b7a01047 : dat b7a01048-b7a0104b : dirout b7a01048-b7a0104b : dirout b7a01060-b7a01063 : set b7a01060-b7a01063 : set b7a01064-b7a01067 : dat b7a01064-b7a01067 : dat b7a01068-b7a0106b : dirout b7a01068-b7a0106b : dirout b7a01080-b7a01083 : set b7a01080-b7a01083 : set b7a01084-b7a01087 : dat b7a01084-b7a01087 : dat b7a01088-b7a0108b : dirout b7a01088-b7a0108b : dirout How very informative. Not. So what device owns those? Who knows, that's lost by the crappy named resource stuff. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
