Hi Wolfgang Denk,
Thanks for your support.
As u suggested the driver is using u32 , looking for chages.
To use resource_size_t instead of u32, do I need to select
CONFIG_RESOURCES_64BIT in kernel config .
If not, resource_size_t is again typedef to u32. Any other changes, pls
suggest.
Driver will be doing dma_alloc_coherent of 4MB size. Kernel support for 2MB
In kernel config changing CONSISTENT_SIZE to 4MB enough or some other
changes.
Pls suggest.
Thanks & regards,
Zaahir Khan
