Re: [PATCH 13/13] drivers/media/tuners/e4000.c: use macros for i2c_msg initialization

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Some people thought that it would be nice to have the macros rather than
the inlined field initializations, especially since there is no flag for
write.  A separate question is whether an array of one element is useful,
or whether one should systematically use & on a simple variable of the
structure type.  I'm open to suggestions about either point.

I think the macro naming is not great.

Maybe add DEFINE_/DECLARE_/_INIT or something other than an action
name type to the macro names.

DEFINE and DECLARE usually have a declared variable as an argument, which is not the case here.

These macros are like the macros PCI_DEVICE and PCI_DEVICE_CLASS.

Are READ and WRITE the action names? They are really the important information in this case.

I think the consistency is better if all the references are done
as arrays, even for single entry arrays.

Is it worth creating arrays where &msg is used? Or would it be better to leave that aspect as it is?
