We have just passed this discussion for watchdog driver here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/1/843 Are you ok with doing it in this way? static inline u32 zynq_gpio_readreg(struct zynq_gpio *gpio, u32 offset) { return readl_relaxed(gpio->base_addr + offset); } static inline void zynq_gpio_writereg(struct zynq_gpio *gpio, u32 offset, u32 val) { writel_relaxed(val, gpio->base_addr + offset); } Or even like this to be able to handle error cases. static inline int zynq_gpio_readreg(struct zynq_gpio *gpio, u32 offset, u32 *val) { *val = readl_relaxed(gpio->base_addr + offset); return 0; } static inline int zynq_gpio_writereg(struct zynq_gpio *gpio, u32 offset, u32 val) { writel_relaxed(val, gpio->base_addr + offset); return 0; } Thanks, Michal -- Michal Simek, Ing.
