Perhaps this could be better as: fb->fb.fix.smem_start = of_translate_address(memory, of_get_address(memory, 0, &size, NULL)); But sometimes using multiple statements instead of embedding function calls as arguments can be simpler and more intelligible for the reader. __be32 addr; ... addr = of_get_address(memory, 0, &size, NULL); fb->fb.fix.smem_start = of_translate_address(memory, addr); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fbdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
