One way to look at it is that if you specify a value for r0, assign it, and then call a function, how do you expect the r0 value to be preserved? r0 will be corrupted by the called function as its used to pass arg0 and the return value. I'm surprised the compiler didn't spit out an error. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arm-msm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
