I said in v3 of this patch, which seems to remain unaddressed: > /* must be last register set: */ > - reg_clear(priv, REG_TBG_CNTRL_0, TBG_CNTRL_0_SYNC_ONCE); > + reg_write(priv, REG_TBG_CNTRL_0, 0); Register changes which have a potential effect shouldn't be part of a patch which is really only trying to avoid reading from write only registers. This could be a potential functional change - and it's probably one which Rob Clark should at least be made aware of. As I commented last time, when you're changing register values in an otherwise innocuous patch, you should comment about them in the patch description. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: 5.8Mbps down 500kbps up.
