That's not very verbose, plese tell atleast tell which SPI driver it's for. > +union cvmx_mpi_cfg { > + uint64_t u64; The kernel already has a type (in <linux/kernel.h>) used in many places in the kernel, called "u64" so this gets very confusing. Can you call it something else? BTW: you could then s/uint64_t/u64 and use that u64.

Can't you break it apart using a set of u32's like in drivers/net/ethernet/micrel/ksz884x.c? Yours, Linus Walleij
