From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: daniel.thompson@linaro.org (Daniel Thompson) Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2014 11:38:21 +0100 Subject: [PATCH v4 11/13] serial: asc: Adopt readl_/writel_relaxed() In-Reply-To: <1403174303-25456-1-git-send-email-daniel.thompson@linaro.org> References: <1401961994-18033-1-git-send-email-daniel.thompson@linaro.org> <1403174303-25456-1-git-send-email-daniel.thompson@linaro.org> Message-ID: <1403174303-25456-12-git-send-email-daniel.thompson@linaro.org> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org The architectures supported by this driver have expensive implementations of writel(), reliant on spin locks and explicit L2 cache management. These architectures provide a cheaper writel_relaxed() which is much better suited to peripherals that do not perform DMA. The situation with readl()/readl_relaxed()is similar although less acute. This driver does not use DMA and will be more power efficient and more robust (due to absense of spin locks during console I/O) if it uses the relaxed variants. This driver is cross compilable for testing purposes and remains compilable on all architectures by falling back to writel() when writel_relaxed() does not exist. We also include explicit compiler barriers. There are redundant on ARM and SH but important on x86 because it defines "relaxed" differently.
