I would like to change them like below two cases. I personally prefer
the 2nd one. Feel free to take one you like better.
1)
__efi_get_rsdp_addr() {
size = efi_64 ? sizeof(efi_config_table_64_t):sizeof(efi_config_table_32_t);;
Or if/else sytle.
for (i = 0; i < nr_tables; i++) {
config_tables += size;
if (efi_64) {
efi_config_table_64_t *tbl = (efi_config_table_64_t *)config_tables;
// get guid and table
} else {
efi_config_table_32_t *tbl = (efi_config_table_32_t *)config_tables;
// get guid and table
}
// check guid and return table if it's valid
}
}
2)
__efi_get_rsdp_addr() {
for (i = 0; i < nr_tables; i++) {
if (efi_64) {
efi_config_table_64_t *tbl = (efi_config_table_64_t *)config_tables + i;
// get guid and table
} else {
efi_config_table_32_t *tbl = (efi_config_table_32_t *)config_tables + i;
// get guid and table
}
// check guid and return table if it's valid
}
}
