Hi,Hi everyone,

#define 0x01c40800
if ((volatile void *)pllbase == (volatile void *)DAVINCI_PLL_CNTRL0_BASE) /*HERE*/
return 8;

return pll_div(pllbase, PLLC_PREDIV);
Thanks.

volatile keyword is make use of to enforce compiler that not to optimize the code that contains this qualifier.
In this case maybe any of the two compared values could be changed in an unknowing way to the compiler which are to be considered and no optimization is required, hence volatile keyword is made use of.
