NAME
       phys_to_virt - map physical address to virtual

SYNOPSIS
       void * phys_to_virt(phys_addr_t address);

ARGUMENTS
       address

DESCRIPTION
       The returned virtual address is a current CPU mapping for the memory address given. It is only valid to use this function on addresses that
       have a kernel mapping

       This function does not handle bus mappings for DMA transfers. In almost all conceivable cases a device driver should not be using this
       function
