Directly for broadcom or at another company?

Can you add printfs to show dfb_fbdev->shared->fix.mmio_start, mmio_len,
smem_start and smem_len?

You mean offset 0 and length -1?

1600000 = 1.6MB?

You changed the length to 900000, but you need to use this to map offset
900000:
addr = mmap( NULL, length, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED,
dfb_fbdev->fd, 900000 );
But it should work if you set smem_len to 900000 in the fb driver.

Segfault?

What exactly is your frame buffer size and physical MMIO address?
You need to put the frame buffer size into smem_len and the physical
MMIO address into mmio_start, the length into mmio_len.
