I just stared at the drivers/serial/suncore.s assembler a little bit and this is indeed what appears to be happening, the compiler is optimizing the stores away completely yet not doing so much as emitting a warning, how rude :-) Perhaps there is some warning option that isn't enabled which would have caught this... Thanks a lot for your patch, I'll apply it. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
