This patchset tries to remove ioremap_uc() in the current architectures
except of x86 and ia64. They will use the default ioremap_uc version
in <asm-generic/io.h> which returns NULL. Anyone who wants to add new
invocation of ioremap_uc(), please consider using ioremap() instead or
adding a new ARCH specific ioremap_uc(), or refer to the callsite
in drivers/video/fbdev/aty/atyfb_base.c.
This change won't cuase breakage to the current kernel because in the
only ioremap_uc callsite, an adjustment is made to eliminate impact in
patch 1 of this series.
To get rid of all of them other than x86 and ia64, add asm-generic/io.h
to asm/io.h of mips ARCH. With this adding, we can get rid of the
ioremap_uc() in mips too. This is done in patch 2. And a followup patch
4 is added to remove duplicated code according to Arnd's suggestion.
v3->v4:
- Add patch 1 to adjust code in the only ioremap_uc() callsite so that
later removing ioremap_uc() won't cause breakage.
- Update log and document writing in patch 3.
- Add followup patch 4 to clean up duplicated code in asm/io.h of MIPS.
v2->v3:
- In patch 1, move those macro definition of functio near its function
declaration according to Arnd's suggestion. And remove the unneeded
change in asm/mmiowb.h introduced in old version.
- In patch 2, clean up and rewrite the messy document related to
ioremap_uc() in Documentation/driver-api/device-io.rst.
v1->v2:
- Update log of patch 2, and document related to ioremap_uc()
according to Geert's comment.
- Add Geert's Acked-by.
