Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000008

santhosh2 — Mon, 19 Aug 2019 12:58:58 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to access the register memeory address but Iam getting the error when i try to read IORESOURCE_MEM

Below is the code snippet

   res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_MEM, 0); // get resource info
   remap_size = res->end - res->start + 1;               // get resource memory size
   base_addr = ioremap(res->start, remap_size);

Please note that some registers are not available for access in user mode. You need to write a driver that will access them.
