How are the registers arranged? Is 0x40e00000-0x40e0ffff simply too
large, and making it smaller would fix the issue? Or are the registers
interleaved? It is possible to request a region in a non-exclusive
manor. Or is it more than interleaving, individual registers need to
be shared between the two drivers? If so, you have the locking issues
you mentioned.
