Great. Thanks for the clarification. I will make sure the usage is done
the right way.

I was trying to just print some addresses for debugging. I removed this
again. I'm just confused, because the DMA device address seems to be the
physical one. At least the memory contains my data. The virtual memory
contains different data. 

Could it be possible this mapping on my board is going wrong?
