Is it possible to define the structure using bit fields and __be32. You should then be able to skip this cpu_to_be32 and the ugly cast. And the actual structure should be a lot clearer. > +static int lan966x_rx_frame_word(struct lan966x *lan966x, u8 grp, bool ifh, > + u32 *rval) > +{ > + u32 bytes_valid; > + u32 val; > + > + val = lan_rd(lan966x, QS_XTR_RD(grp)); > + if (val == XTR_NOT_READY) { > + if (ifh) > + return -EIO; > + > + do { > + val = lan_rd(lan966x, QS_XTR_RD(grp)); > + } while (val == XTR_NOT_READY); I would add some sort of timeout here, just in case the hardware breaks. You have quite a few such loops, it would be better to make use of the helpers in linux/iopoll.h.
