Hi Paul,

thanks for your patch! This caught my eye:

ARCH == ARMv6.

This ARCH < ARMv6K comes from inversion of the the a bit terse
comment for ifndef CONFIG_CPU_V6, which means "out of the
post-v6 CPUs, the following applies to those > V6".

The code in the patch, IIUC make use of cmpxchg_emu_u8()
if and only if the CPU is V6.

This is now a set with one member so this comment should say:

/* ARCH == ARMv6 */

After this change.

Yours,
