Subject: Accessing peripheral register directly from userspace

Would there be any issues for optimization purpose I do a mmap to a
peripheral register to directly access it from userspace ? This is
considering the peripheral already has a Kernel driver through which
you can set the register bit.

Basically I want to avoid the additional context switch on entering
the Kernel to set that one bit in the Peripheral register.

I request you to please share your thoughts.

Best regards,
Krishna
