   It's only happens to work on some systems.


in my puzzle, if i run dma_vaddr =(char*) __get_free_pages(GFP_KERNEL,  order);
dma_phy = virt_to_phy(dma_vaddr);

if the result is:
dma_vaddr = 0x801b00000;
dma_phy = 0x1b00000;

so i should write 0x1b00000 to my DMA Base register or wirte (0x1b000000 | 0xa0000000) to DMA?

 You must always use the physical addresses when programming DMA, i.e. 0x1b00000 in this case.

I  write  0x1b00000 to my DMA Base register, the driver donot work.  write (0x1b00000 | 0xa000000) it work, why?
