Before using this range I verified that there are no conflicts with the ranges listed in the dmesg output for other devices. I also experimented with addresses in the 0x100 set based on the same analysis. Nevertheless, there may well be addresses that other devices use that are not listed by dmesg, so I'll check other documents as you suggest. > Also set the flags to 0x1185 for better diagnostics. Will do. Thanks.
