Subject: RFC: kill off ioremap_nocache
Date: Mon, 9 Dec 2019 14:58:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191209135823.28465-1-hch@lst.de> (raw)
Hi all,
with the ioremap changes that did land in 5.5-rc1 ioremap_nocache is
now equal to ioremap for all architectures. For most architectures
including the common one this has been the case for about 20 years,
but we had a few holdouts.
That means ioremap_nocache is entirely superflous now and can be
killed off. This series has one big scripted patch to do just that
after a little prep patch to fix up the not entirely obvious mips
definition.
Let me know what you think and if this is something acceptable for
just after -rc1.
