I don't see any consideration of whether this increase results in any
clashes with any other related areas. Also, there is no update of the
memory layout documentation.

The memory layout documentation says:

=============== =============== ===============================================
Start           End             Use
=============== =============== ===============================================
fee00000        feffffff        Mapping of PCI I/O space. This is a static
                                mapping within the vmalloc space.

which means there's a maximum of 0x001fffff available. You are
increasing it's size from 0x000fffff to 0x00ffffff. This means it
expands from 0xfee00000 through to 0xffdfffff.

This conflicts with these entries:

ffc80000        ffefffff        Fixmap mapping region.  Addresses provided
                                by fix_to_virt() will be located here.

ffc00000        ffc7ffff        Guard region

ff800000        ffbfffff        Permanent, fixed read-only mapping of the
                                firmware provided DT blob

So, I have no option but to NAK this change. Sorry.

You can find this documentation in the "Documentation" subdirectory.
