Re: [PATCH 01/11] drm/ast: Use drm_aperture_remove_conflicting_pci_framebuffers

[Jammy Huang <jammy_huang@aspeedtech.com>]

Hi Thomas,

The Intel(x86) CPUs have a separate address space for "IO", but the ARM 
architecture only has "memory", so all IO devices are accessed as if 
they were memory. Which means ARM does not support isolated IO. Here is 
a related discussion on ARM's forum.

https://community.arm.com/support-forums/f/architectures-and-processors-forum/52046/how-to-read-write-an-i-o-port-in-aarch64

Thus, we adapt MMIO only after this patch.
