Huh? DPRAM_BASE is a virtual address. With this patch, you'd be subtracting a virtual address from a physical address.

Thanks for pointing me to it. So the bug is in cpm_uart_cpm1.h assigning a physical memory to DPRAM_BASE (at least on ARC=ppc). cpm_uart_cpm2.h seems to be correct though. I'll submit a new patch for this.

cpmp is a physical address on arch/ppc?
/me looks at arch/ppc/8xx_io/commproc.c

Yikes. Please don't change cpm_uart_cpm1.h, as it's correct for arch/powerpc, and there are numerous other places that assume cpmp is virtual (including in the very same function that assigns it a physical address).

You could fix arch/ppc if you want, though it may be easier to wait for it to die, and insist on identity maps in the meantime. :-)
