These should be u8 after all, right?
OK, so:
- I can hard-code `status` as `1`, like so:
while(!litex_read8(membase + OFF_RXEMPTY) {
...
if (!(uart_handle_sysrq_char(port, ch)))
uart_insert_char(port, 1, 0, ch, TTY_NORMAL);
... since `status` would always be `1` inside the loop. So I'm
basically going to get rid of it altogether.
Yes, I had that in my mind. Except passing 1 to uart_insert_char() when
overflow is hardwired to 0 makes no sense IMO :).
- `ch` is indeed *produced* by `litex_read8()`, which would make it
`u8`. It is subsequently *consumed* by `uart_handle_sysrq_char()`
and `uart_insert_char()`, which both expect `unsigned int`.
Ignore uart_handle_sysrq_char and uart_insert_char. They should be fixed
one day. It should really be u8. All down the call chain (it magically
turns into int in the sysrq handlers, then char is expected).
If you think it's better to go with the type when the value is
produced (as opposed to when it's consumed), I'm OK with that for
the upcoming v6 of the series... :)
Yes, please. We should slowly convert _all_ of them.
And can you change membase to u8 * too 8-)?
Hmmm, in `struct uart_port` (in include/linux/serial_core.h), the
`membase` field is declared as:
unsigned char __iomem *membase;
which is why I'm thinking we should leave it as-is? Unless there are
plans (or a pending patch I'm unaware of) to switch the field in
include/linux/serial_core.h to `u8` as well? -- Please advise.
Ah, then keep it. I somehow thought it's void *. And yes, even this
should be u8 __iomem *, eventually.
thanks,
