commit bf48dd4e9926515345cad06c1bfce49d7a057a26 Author: Dave Anderson Date: Mon Jun 10 14:12:52 2019 -0400 Fix for Linux 4.16 and later ARM64 kernels that contain kernel commit fa2a8445b1d3810c52f2a6b3a006456bd1aacb7e, titled "arm64: allow ID map to be extended to 52 bits", and which have been configured with both CONFIG_DEVMEM=y and CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=y. Without the patch, an inconsequential error message indicating "crash: read error: kernel virtual address:
type: idmap_ptrs_per_pgd" is displayed during initialization.
