RE: [PATCH 4/8] staging: et131x: Use for loop to initialise contiguous macstat registers to zero

From: Mark Einon

Replace a long list of contiguous writel() calls with a for loop iterating
over the same address values.

Also remove redundant comments on the macstat registers, the variable names
are good enough.

...

-	writel(0, &macstat->txrx_0_64_byte_frames);

...

-	writel(0, &macstat->carry_reg2);
+	/* initialize all the macstat registers to zero on the device  */
+	for (reg = &macstat->txrx_0_64_byte_frames;
+	     reg <= &macstat->carry_reg2; reg++)
+		writel(0, reg);

...

 struct macstat_regs {			/* Location: */
 	u32 pad[32];			/*  0x6000 - 607C */

-	/* Tx/Rx 0-64 Byte Frame Counter */
+	/* counters */
 	u32 txrx_0_64_byte_frames;	/*  0x6080 */
-
-	/* Tx/Rx 65-127 Byte Frame Counter */
 	u32 txrx_65_127_byte_frames;	/*  0x6084 */

I think it would be best to also convert the stats counters to an array.
