Hi,

mea culpa, I for unknown reason changed it from "size" to "count". I guess some
cut&paste mess. The correct prototype used elsewhere in kernel is

int valid_mmap_phys_addr_range(unsigned long pfn, size_t size)

Does it make sense to replace "count" with "size" so it's consistent with the
rest or do you prefer "nr_bytes" or as Dave proposed "len_bytes"?

I will fix this and I'm sorry Dave I did not change it as discussed. It totally
slipped my mind.

Many thanks Thomas.
