I have contacted the mapper but he doesn't agree with this.

access=permissive means that the landowner gave his permission to access this 
footway.
Footways are meant to access by foot only. So no access for all other vehicles.

If I map this road to foot=permissive, mkgmap will block this road too:

It will add access = no  but it can't add foot = yes because there is already a 
tag foot = permissive

Unless mkgmap doesnt set foot = permissive to foot = yes, Garmin doesnt know 
what to do and will block this for all traffic including pedestrians.

So we are back to the discussion about bicycles from this topic:

I would suggest to set all vehicles access with permissive to yes, so
bicycle=permissive > bicycle=yes
foot=permissive > foot=yes
motorcar, moped, motorbike,hgv etc same

except access=permissive > delete access
