Subject: [PATCH next] wifi: mm81x: fix type bugs handling sdio_readl/writel()
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 11:30:22 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aoa7Hj1W7ETOrOzO@stanley.mountain> (raw)
The sdio_readl() and sdio_writel() functions, instead of returning kernel
error codes, instead stores the error codes in a parameter. These caller
functions pass should pass an int pointer to store the error code but
instead pass a signed long.
This will not work on big endian systems. On little endian systems
passing a ssize_t means negative error codes are converted to positive
values near UINT_MAX. This doesn't cause a problem at runtime because
in mm81x_sdio_reg32_write() the error codes are discarded and we always
return -EIO. In mm81x_sdio_reg32_read() the high bits are truncated
away so the positive value is re-converted back to negative and the
code works as intended.
Either way, passing an int is the correct thing and is a cleanup.
