Also, you can't guarantee that r0 will contain the value unless you explicitly pass it in. IOW: register unsigned long r0 asm("r0") = val; asm volatile( __asmeq(%0, r0) "..." : : "r" (r0) : "r4", "r5", "r6", "r7", "r8"); The use of asmeq will also ensure that '%0' is indeed r0 - some gcc versions are buggy. As I've said before, your patch is fine for the current version, but not for the other cache-l2x0 changes. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
