Re: Need some guidance on i2c-ocores driver
mfd_add_devices() is called, it uses dev-resource as the base. So the BAR will be the parent. Check the code in mfd-core.c, mfd_add_device(), if ((cell-resources[r].flags IORESOURCE_MEM) mem_base) { res[r].parent = mem_base; res[r].start = mem_base-start + cell-resources[r].start; res[r].end = mem_base-start + cell-resources[r].end; } So the MFD resource is within its parent. When later the device driver request a region, will it get conflict with the parent? I doubt you'll want to map the same memory area in both the parent and the child device drivers. Only map the registers you plan to use in the driver you plan to use them. If you need multiple devices to access the same registers then you need to create an API, complete with locking, in the MFD parent device. Thanks for pointing out. I thought at first the conflict was due to my pci_ioremap_bar(). I went ahead to remove the mapping but still not working. Your email inspired me to take a deeper look at my code and I found my error. I have called pci_request_regions() which reserves all BARs. I think that's my root cause. Thanks for helping me.
