Hello,

In the past I've worked with ARM architectures where I could setup virtual / physical address mappings so I don't have to ioremap then pass around pointers. Does PowerPC have an equivalent abstraction? If not whats the recommended approach?

That is, is there a better approach to the following...

volatile static unsigned char *my_reg = NULL;

static inline void read_func() {

        if (!my_reg)
                my_reg = (unsigned char *)
                        ioremap(REG_PHYS_BASE, REG_SIZE);
//do something with the reg
}


static inline void write_func() {

        if (!my_reg)
                my_reg = (unsigned char *)
                        ioremap(REG_PHYS_BASE, REG_SIZE);
//do something with the reg
}
