[ELDK] Kernel exception when trying memset

[Zaahir Khan]

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
