| |
The architectures where this peripheral exists (ARM and SH) have expensive implementations of writel(), reliant on spin locks and explicit L2 cache management. These architectures provide a cheaper writel_relaxed() which is much better suited to peripherals that do not perform DMA. The situation with readl()/readl_relaxed()is similar although less acute.
This driver does not use DMA and will be more power efficient and more robust (due to absense of spin locks during console I/O) if it uses the relaxed variants.
This change means the driver is no longer portable and therefore no longer suitable for compile testing.
