Sorry I misunderstood your question. I made mistake when I analyzed the possbile combination for mode and PCSROffset so I thought it's the only case should handle: { EDDEVID_IMPL_EDPCSR_EDCIDSR, EDDEVID1_PCSR_NO_OFFSET_DIS_AARCH32 } Below three combinations are possible to exist; so you are right, I should move this out for the checking: { EDDEVID_IMPL_NONE, EDDEVID1_PCSR_NO_OFFSET_DIS_AARCH32 } { EDDEVID_IMPL_EDPCSR_EDCIDSR, EDDEVID1_PCSR_NO_OFFSET_DIS_AARCH32 } { EDDEVID_IMPL_FULL, EDDEVID1_PCSR_NO_OFFSET_DIS_AARCH32 } Thanks, Leo Yan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-soc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
