SubjectRe: [RFC PATCH] debugfs: add tools to printk 32-bit registers
Hi Greg. Thanks for looking.

Ok. There's also a file by Jon in Documentation that needs updating, as it
has all the other debugfs file types.

> +int debugfs_print_regs32(struct seq_file *s, struct debugfs_reg32 *regs,
>> + int nregs, void __iomem *base, char *prefix)

Not really. The other one makes a regiters-only file, and it's good
to register it withouth ifdef.

This one is used to embed a register block in a file with more
stuff, so it shouldn't be used if debugfs is not selected (btw,
I compiled my internal stuff with and without CONFIG_DEBUG_FS
before rebasing to next).

Example:

static int pl08x_debugfs_show(struct seq_file *s, void *data)
{
[...]
list_for_each_entry(chan, &pl08x->slave.channels, chan.device_node) {
seq_printf(s, "%s\t\t%s\n", chan->name,
pl08x_state_str(chan->state));
}

/* dump registers */
seq_printf(s, "\nPL08x registers\n");
debugfs_print_regs32(s, pl08x_regs, ARRAY_SIZE(pl08x_regs),
pl08x->base, "");

seq_printf(s, "\nPL08x registers channel\n");
for (i = 0; i < pl08x->vd->channels; i++) {
[...]
}

So, I'll post a V2 shortly, unless you refuse it in reply to this.

thanks
