It'd help if I could see more of your mail than just the above when
replying to it.  Please wrap your messages rather than typing entire
paragraphs on one single line.

I think your problem might be to do with how the interconnects work.
Each different memory type can have a different memory map.  If your
peripheral is _only_ visible via the strongly ordered memory type,
then it won't be visible via (shared or non-shared) device or memory
like mappings.

We have had devices in the past where certain peripherals are only
visible via non-shared device mappings.  Could this be one of them?

Without knowing more about the device you're using, in particular
how the bus matrix is setup, there's no way to comment definitively.
What does the documentation for your device say about the type of
mappings required for this peripheral?
