We need to know, which ioremap'ed address assign to control area, command
and response buffer, based on which ACPI region contains each of them.
Is there any method of getting remapped address for the raw one after
resouce containing it has been allocated?
And what do you mean by initialization? crb_resources lives only in
crb_map_io, which seems to run only once.
