Breaking a single line of code into two for readability does not make them two separate executable statements. As per CodingStyle recommendation: Do not unnecessarily use braces where a single statement will do. if (condition) action(); So, please modify your patch as braces here waste precious screen space and reduce readability. > > > if (dev->swab) > > > > > > return swab32(value); > > > > > > @@ -177,7 +184,12 @@ void dw_writel(struct dw_i2c_dev *dev, u32 b, > int > > > offset) > > > > > > if (dev->swab) > > > > > > b = swab32(b); > > > > > > - writel(b, dev->base + offset); > > > + if (dev->access_16bit) { > > > + writew((u16)b, dev->base + offset); > > > + writew((u16)(b >> 16), dev->base + offset + 2); > > > + } else { > > > + writel(b, dev->base + offset); > > > + } > > > > > > } > > > > > > static u32 > > > > > > @@ -258,6 +270,12 @@ int i2c_dw_init(struct dw_i2c_dev *dev) > > > > > > reg = DW_IC_COMP_TYPE_VALUE; > > > > > > } > > > > > > + /* Configure register access mode 16bit */ > > > + if (reg == (DW_IC_COMP_TYPE_VALUE & 0x0000ffff)) { > > > + dev->access_16bit = 1; > > > > Can we use a suitable macro for 0x0000ffff? > > Hmmm.

Using a macro doesn't make things 'more complex', but more readable. Magic numbers must be avoided at all cost. A better named MACRO is always better (for anyone else reading the code) than a magic number like 0x0000ffff. > > Also, if dev->access_16bit is bool we can simply set: > > dev->access_16bit = true; > > > > more on that below... > > > > > + reg = DW_IC_COMP_TYPE_VALUE; > > > + } > > > + > > > > > > if (reg != DW_IC_COMP_TYPE_VALUE) { > > > > > > dev_err(dev->dev, "Unknown Synopsys component type: " > > > > > > "0x%08x\n", reg); > > > > > > diff --git a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-designware-core.h > > > b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-designware-core.h > > > index 02d1a2d..f5af101 100644 > > > --- a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-designware-core.h > > > +++ b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-designware-core.h > > > @@ -83,6 +83,7 @@ struct dw_i2c_dev { > > > > > > u32 abort_source; > > > int irq; > > > int swab; > > > > > > + int access_16bit; > > > > ... > > int??

There is no reason to take access_16bit as an int when a bool will suffice. This wastes storage and on some platforms (which have real crunch of memory), such saving is critical. > So basically, I would prefer to not make the changes you suggested.
