Better convert this to a set of __le32 fields and explicit shifts and masks. Two smaller things you should think about, I'm not entirely sure about these: > +static int hix5hd2_rx(struct net_device *dev, int limit) > +{ > + struct hix5hd2_priv *priv = netdev_priv(dev); > + struct sk_buff *skb; > + struct hix5hd2_desc *desc; > + dma_addr_t dma_addr; > + u32 start, end, num, pos, i, len; > + > + /* software read pointer */ > + start = dma_cnt(readl_relaxed(priv->base + RX_BQ_RD_ADDR)); > + /* logic write pointer */ > + end = dma_cnt(readl_relaxed(priv->base + RX_BQ_WR_ADDR)); I think one of these needs to be readl() instead of readl_relaxed(), to ensure the data is correctly ordered with regard to the pointer access. > + if (pos != start) > + writel(dma_byte(pos), priv->base + TX_RQ_RD_ADDR); While this looks like it could be writel_relaxed().
