/**
* DOC: ioremap() and ioremap_*() variants
*
- * If you have an IOMMU your architecture is expected to have both ioremap()
- * and iounmap() implemented otherwise the asm-generic helpers will provide a
- * direct mapping.
+ * Architectures with an MMU are expected to provide ioremap() and iounmap()
+ * themselves. For NOMMU architectures we provide a default nop-op
+ * implementation that expect that the physical address used for MMIO are
+ * already marked as uncached, and can be used as kernel virtual addresses.
*
- * There are ioremap_*() call variants, if you have no IOMMU we naturally will
- * default to direct mapping for all of them, you can override these defaults.
- * If you have an IOMMU you are highly encouraged to provide your own
- * ioremap variant implementation as there currently is no safe architecture
- * agnostic default. To avoid possible improper behaviour default asm-generic
- * ioremap_*() variants all return NULL when an IOMMU is available. If you've
- * defined your own ioremap_*() variant you must then declare your own
- * ioremap_*() variant as defined to itself to avoid the default NULL return.
+ * ioremap_wc() and ioremap_wt() can provide more relaxed caching attributes
+ * for specific drivers if the architecture choses to implement them. If they
+ * are not implemented we fall back to plain ioremap.
