Re: [PATCH V3 06/10] MIPS: lantiq: add NOR flash support

I wrote:

NOR flash is attached to the same EBU (External Bus Unit) as PCI. As described in the PCI patch, the EBU is a little buggy, resulting in the upper and lower 16 bit of the data on a 32 bit read are swapped. (essentially we have a addr^=2)

   "Are" not needed.

To work around this we do a addr^=2 during the probe. Once probed we adapt
cfi->addr_unlock1 and cfi->addr_unlock2 to represent the endianess bug.

   Shouldn't it be static?

+{
+    unsigned char *p;
+    unsigned char *to_8;
+    unsigned long flags;
+
+    spin_lock_irqsave(&ebu_lock, flags);
+    from = (unsigned long) (map->virt + from);

   Why not:

    from += (unsigned long) map->virt;

like you do in ltq_copy_to()?

+    p = (unsigned char *) from;

   Could be done in initializer, like in ltq_copy_to().

+    to_8 = (unsigned char *) to;
+    while (len--)
+        *to_8++ = *p++;

   BTW, you could use memcpy_fromio().

Actually not, as on MIPS it's implemented via memcpy(). On ARM it doesn byte-by-byte copying -- that's why I remembered about it...
