<MASA>
Phub hw configuration is in probe processing like below.

+       /* set the prefech value */
+       iowrite32(0x000ffffa, pch_phub_reg.pch_phub_base_address + 0x14);
+       /* set the interrupt delay value */
+       iowrite32(0x25, pch_phub_reg.pch_phub_base_address + 0x44);

Can you agree that phub is integrated as character device ?

I will answer your another questions after receiving the above your response.

Thanks, Ohtake.
