Subject: [PATCH] gianfar: Use memset instead of cacheable_memzero
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2009 09:14:01 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1240928041-10905-1-git-send-email-galak@kernel.crashing.org> (raw)
cacheable_memzero() is completely overkill for the clearing out the FCB
block which is only 8-bytes. The compiler should easily optimize this
with memset. Additionally, cacheable_memzero() only exists on ppc32 and
thus breaks builds of gianfar on ppc64.
