This make it harder to trace the code. Hi Hayes, just to be clear: Are you against defining these functions via macros? If so, I can simply rewrite this so that it does not use macros... Or are you against implementing these functions themselves? Should I abandon this at all? BTW, what about patch 5/5 which introduces *_modify helpers? Patch 5/5 simplifies the driver a lot, IMO, changing this ocp_data = usb_ocp_read_word(tp, USB_PM_CTRL_STATUS); ocp_data &= ~RESUME_INDICATE; usb_ocp_write_word(tp, USB_PM_CTRL_STATUS, ocp_data); into this usb_ocp_modify_word(tp, USB_PM_CTRL_STATUS, RESUME_INDICATE, 0); Marek
