Hello Fabio,
I'm not sure about it: rtw_read32 calls a pointer to a function. I'm don't
know drivers programming, however that function looks like an implementation
of a read() system call. So I wouldn't be so sure to remove those calls.
Could calling a (*read) method have side effects on subsequent read()? I mean:
could it update some internal data structure? If not I can remove the
variables you mentioned above and the calls to read32.
I'm looking forward to read your reply.
Thanks,
Fabio
