The assumption is that both of them being zero is a invalid configuration and either of them (or both) have to be non-zero for proper operation, since otherwise the device can't tell the difference between a read and a write. > > Do you have a device where both the read and the write mask is 0? > > - Lars Yes I do have a device that the read/write mask are both 0. The device, which is already in production, has a specific control register that sets either the reading or writing of the rest of the registers. Here is the data sheet http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/afe4403.pdf See page 61 control0. Driver is written for this part just want to get this lead patch in or maybe an alternate solution.
