Is Mali-400 MP GPU Technical Overview/Technical Reference Manual document free to get? If it is, but how could I get it?

Hi Firefly,

There's nothing public that I'm aware of that describes the actual function/meaning of anything in the kernel code, besides what is released with that code or the comments in it.

The kernel driver never touches an instance of _mali_io_address, it just passes pointers to instances of them around, so it's not necessary to define the type in the kernel module itself. I think this is either a handle returned by the kernel, or a mechanism to pass something from userspace to the hardware, one or the other.

Hope this helps,

Chris
