And how module will be called?
are you expecting to include 'default y' ?
I'm expecting to see something like "if you choose M the module will be called
bla-foo-bar." Look at the existing examples in the kernel.
ok, i will change bool to tristate.
...
+ldma_update_bits(struct ldma_dev *d, u32 mask, u32 val, u32 ofs)
+{
+ u32 old_val, new_val;
+
+ old_val = readl(d->base + ofs);
+ new_val = (old_val & ~mask) | (val & mask);
With bitfield.h you will have this as u32_replace_bits().
- new_val = (old_val & ~mask) | (val & mask);
+ new_val = old_val;
+ u32_replace_bits(new_val, val, mask);
I think in this function we cant use this because of compilation issues
thrown by bitfield.h . Expecting 2nd and 3rd arguments as constant numbers
not as type variables.
ex:
u32_replace_bits(val, 0, IPA_REG_ENDP_ROUTER_HASH_MSK_ALL);
How comes these are constants? In the above you have a function which does
r-m-w approach to the register. It should be something like
old = read();
new = u32_replace_bits(old, ...);
write(new);
./include/linux/bitfield.h:131:3: error: call to '__field_overflow' declared
with attribute error: value doesn't fit into mask
__field_overflow(); \
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
./include/linux/bitfield.h:119:3: error: call to '__bad_mask' declared with
attribute error: bad bitfield mask
__bad_mask();
^~~~~~~~~~~~
So, even with constants u32_replace_bits() must work. Maybe you didn't get how?
Thanks Andy, now i know how u32_replace_bits() is working.
The mask is not the continuous bits in some cases. Due to the mask bits
are not continuous u32_replace_bits() can't be used here.
Ex:
u32 mask = DMA_CPOLL_EN | DMA_CPOLL_CNT;
Comes to __field_overflow error, update bits in the 'val' are aligned
with mask bits. Because of the this reason in u32_replace_bits() 'val'
exceeds the 'mask' in some cases which is causing __field_overflow error.
+ if (new_val != old_val)
+ writel(new_val, d->base + ofs);

...
+ /* High 4 bits */
Why only 4?
this is higher 4 bits of 36 bit addressing..
Make it clear in the comment.
ok.
...
+device_initcall(intel_ldma_init);
Each _initcall() in general should be explained.
ok. is it fine?
/* Perform this driver as device_initcall to make sure initialization
happens
* before its dma clients of some are platform specific. make sure to
provice
* registered dma channels and dma capabilities to client before their

*/
/*

* And use dma -> DMA.
*/
Ok.
