Hi Benoit,

According to [1] Jon suggested that it was not necessary to map all
the 16MB for the GPMC mapped register address space since in practice
is a very small fraction of that size is used.

I had the following patch but I did never post it because Jon said
that the I/O memory mapping is page-aligned and the minimum page
size for ARM is 4KB anyways, so there is no functional difference
between using 0x1000 or 0x02d0.

But now reading [2] I see that you prefer to do what the documentation
said and don't assume any the page size / alignment.

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: dts: OMAP3: reduce GPMC mapped registers address space

Currently the OMAP General-Purpose Memory Controller (GPMC) device
node maps 16 MB of address space for its hardware registers.

This is because the OMAP Technical Reference Manual says that the
GPMC module register address space size is 16 MB. But in practice
the maximum address offset used by a GPMC register is 0x02d0.

So, there is no need to map such a big address space for GPMC regs.

This change was suggested by Jon Hunter [1].
