I'm confused. it was you who wanted all comments to capitalized the same..
64bi
if it sounds like bitmap, use bitmap.

The problem is, that even if we could initialize this without the
monstrosity in our last conversation a 64bit bitmap would still
produce worse code. As it is now it's simply a 32bit load and mask
with index and mask already calculated for the registers. In the
status callback the mask can even be folded into the register read
mask. With a 64bit bitmap you'd need to calculate new 64bit index and
masks, and then conditionally shift the bits into position.
If this reflection of the 32bit registers bothers you that much we
could alternatively do
static bool jh7100_reset_inverted(unsigned int idx)
{
switch (idx) {
case JH7100_RST_U74:
case JH7100_RST_VP6_DRESET:
..
return false;
}
return true;
}
It'd still produce worse code, but at least it would be readable.
