If it is correct, "define a dummy ioremap(), and return NULL" is just the meaning that you mentioned above. If so, for UML, it is not requirement, but recommend to define a dummy ioremap() which return NULL, so can be generic enough to mach all cases. >> > For our case, the ".config" file does not define 'CONFIG_HAS_IOMEM', can >> > I assume it means "CONFIG_HAS_IOMEM=n" ? > If I'm not mistaken it works the other way around. > All archs except UML and s390 set CONFIG_HAS_IOMEM=y. I guess so, too.
