The driver is unbelievable shit, and should just be removed, I think.
The reason for all the games with CFLAGS and asmlinkage and utter crud
seems to be that the driver is just BROKEN. It will work purely by luck,
and depend entirely on the compiler not doing anything else AT ALL in that
asm function.
Could somebody please just fix the piece-of-sh*t thing?
Here's a totally untested patch that may or may not work. At least it
removes the assembler code that assumes that it controls the whole
function from anything that gcc will then create a function prologue and
epilogue for. Quite frankly, this is *not* the right thing to do either:
the proper thing to do is to just move the low-level call into the "asm"
statement, and leave all the function prologue/epilogue entirely to the
compiler.
But this way it isn't actively _broken_ by design, at least.
No promises. I don't have the hardware. But somebody should *really* do
this correctly.
