I realized that I had this patch for 3.3 already, but not in 3.7. This means that Realview EB has been broken since 3.3-rc and specifically commit 34ae6c96 (ARM: 7298/1: realview: fix mapping of MPCore private memory region). > > Will > > --->8 > > diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-realview/include/mach/board-eb.h b/arch/arm/mach-realview/include/mach/board-eb.h > index 124bce6..a301e61 100644 > --- a/arch/arm/mach-realview/include/mach/board-eb.h > +++ b/arch/arm/mach-realview/include/mach/board-eb.h > @@ -47,7 +47,7 @@ > #define REALVIEW_EB_USB_BASE 0x4F000000 /* USB */ > > #ifdef CONFIG_REALVIEW_EB_ARM11MP_REVB > -#define REALVIEW_EB11MP_PRIV_MEM_BASE 0x1F000000 > +#define REALVIEW_EB11MP_PRIV_MEM_BASE 0x10100000 > #define REALVIEW_EB11MP_L220_BASE 0x10102000 /* L220 registers */ > #define REALVIEW_EB11MP_SYS_PLD_CTRL1 0xD8 /* Register offset for MPCore sysctl */ > #else
