Yes. There are some other patches in flight on the mailing list to this file from me[1]. Those would need to be applied first to avoid conflicts. > > Let's use the __weak macro rather than open-coding it (and convert > __iowrite32_copy() while we're in there). Yep, I converted the __iowrite32_copy() open-code in there too in the patch series I mentioned above. See [2]. > > It's unclear why __iowrite32_copy() is a weak function - nothing > overrides it. Perhaps we should just take that away rather than > copying it into __ioread32_copy(). Huh?

Anyway, > __ioread32_copy() is implemented in C so I guess __visible isn't needed > there. Yeah, I didn't add visible because there isn't an assembly version of __ioread32_copy() so far. I can remove __weak if desired. I left it there to match __iowrite32_copy() in case x86 wanted to override it but we can do that later or never.
