Hi Denis,
Thanks for the reply.
I am writing gfxdriver for directFB library for broadcom chip.
I have also written a frambuffer driver for broadcom chip.
In directFB code,
static volatile void *
system_map_mmio( unsigned int offset,
int length )
{
void *addr;
if (length <= 0)
length = dfb_fbdev->shared->fix.mmio_len;
addr = mmap( NULL, length, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED,
dfb_fbdev->fd, dfb_fbdev->shared->fix.smem_len + offset );
if ((int)(addr) == -1) {
D_PERROR( "DirectFB/FBDev: Could not mmap MMIO region "
"(offset %d, length %d)!\n", offset, length );
return NULL;
}
return(volatile void*) ((u8*) addr + (dfb_fbdev->shared->fix.mmio_start &
dfb_fbdev->shared->page_mask));
}
the length and offset i am providing as 0 and -1.
It is throwing me error as Could not mmap MMIO region.
length coming from dfb_fbdev->shared->fix.smem_len is 16,00,000.
When i change the code to addr = mmap( NULL, 900000, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, dfb_fbdev->fd, dfb_fbdev->shared->fix.smem_len + offset );
Then it works fine but it is not allowing me to write to addresses with offset greater than 900000.
My requirement is to write in to the MMIO registers with offset between 900000 and 16 00 000.
Could you please help me in htis regard?
Thanks in Advance.

The ioremap() is independent of the values propagated to user space
and fbmem.c via fix.mmio_start and fix.mmio_len, please check these.
