| |
Hi,
Since you're not allowed to use direct memory dereferencing on ioremapped areas, wouldn't it be more logical to let ioremap() return an unsigned long instead of a void *?
Of course we then have to change readb() and friends to take a long as well, but at least we'd get compiler warnings when someone tries to do a direct dereference.
Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
