How does request io memory region works

I am trying to understand the following driver code. In the probe
function, i think it tries to map memory region for the driver so that
the driver can access the hardware register. Please correct me if I am
wrong. My question is where does it specifies the address of the
registers for the driver to map from? And how much it should map?

/* memory region */
res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_MEM, 0);
if (!res) {
jpeg_err("failed to get jpeg memory region resource\n");
ret = -ENOENT;
goto err_res;
}
res = request_mem_region(res->start, resource_size(res),
pdev->name);
if (!res) {
jpeg_err("failed to request jpeg io memory region\n");
ret = -ENOMEM;
goto err_region;
}
/* ioremap */
dev->reg_base = ioremap(res->start, resource_size(res));
if (!dev->reg_base) {
jpeg_err("failed to remap jpeg io region\n");
ret = -ENOENT;
goto err_map;
}
