Hi Mauro, > Genmask is always highest order to low order. It doesn't make > any sense to make it depends on endiannes. > I added these #ifdefs due to this: https://lwn.net/Articles/741762/ i.e. Fields to access are specified as GENMASK() values - an N-bit field starting at bit #M is encoded as GENMASK(M + N - 1, N). Note that bit numbers refer to endianness of the object we are working with - e.g. GENMASK(11, 0) in __be16 refers to the second byte and the lower 4 bits of the first byte. In __le16 it would refer to the first byte and the lower 4 bits of the second byte, etc. I am not 100% sure, but maybe we actually need them? - Daniel
