On rockchip rk3288, only word(32-bit) accesses are
permitted for hdmi registers.  Byte width accesses (writeb,
readb) generate an imprecise external abort.

I see no need to introduce this. Just explicitly multiply the offset in
dw_hdmi_writel.

      Is there any disadvantage to do like this?
      The compiler can help us do the explicitly multiply by this way.
Four additional lines, a new defined type, a few more changes to struct
dw_hdmi and dw_hdmi_bind necessary.

Technically I see no problem to let the compiler do the multiplication,
my issue is that it ever so slightly obfuscates the code. Instead of
just writing "* 4" in two functions, we get a new union that you need to
know about when looking at struct dw_hdmi and dw_hdmi_bind, regs.p8 is
used but never assigned directly, it's just a tiny bit of additional
effort needed to understand the code. But when the cost to avoid that is
so small...

regards
Philipp


  What you said is right, I will change it in PATCH V15
   thanks .
