The Special Function Registers on all Exynos SoC, including ARM64, are 32-bit wide, so entire driver uses matching functions like readl() or writel(). On 64-bit ARM using unsigned long for register masks: 1. makes little sense as immediately after bitwise operation it will be cast to 32-bit value when calling writel(), 2. is actually error-prone because it might promote other operands to 64-bit.

I have tested it on exynos5433/tm2e and didn't notice any issues as we could expect. The patch looks good to me, however I would personally use u32 rather than "unsigned int", like in other places for the register value variables. -- Regards, Sylwester _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
