commitd2d2e3c46bupstream. Sometimes memory resource may be overlapping with SystemMemory Operation Region by design, for example if the memory region is used as a mailbox for communication with a firmware in the system. One occasion of such mailboxes is USB Type-C Connector System Software Interface (UCSI). With regions like that, it is important that the driver is able to map the memory with the requirements it has. For example, the driver should be allowed to map the memory as non-cached memory. However, if the operation region has been accessed before the driver has mapped the memory, the memory has been marked as write-back by the time the driver is loaded. That means the driver will fail to map the memory if it expects non-cached memory. To work around the problem, introducing helper that the drivers can use to temporarily deactivate (unmap) SystemMemory Operation Regions that overlap with their IO memory.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
