The rest of this series depends on this patch. Could you place it in a topic branch so we can base the rest of the series off of it? Or, if you prefer, Ack it and drop it from your patch tracker? I'm fine either way. thx, Jason. > > diff --git a/arch/arm/include/asm/io.h b/arch/arm/include/asm/io.h > index fbeb39c..8aa4cca 100644 > --- a/arch/arm/include/asm/io.h > +++ b/arch/arm/include/asm/io.h > @@ -38,6 +38,12 @@ > #define isa_bus_to_virt phys_to_virt > > /* > + * Atomic MMIO-wide IO modify > + */ > +extern void atomic_io_modify(void __iomem *reg, u32 mask, u32 set); > +extern void atomic_io_modify_relaxed(void __iomem *reg, u32 mask, u32 set); > + > +/* > * Generic IO read/write.
