Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/4] ARM: Add const cpu_to_le32 for asm
Date: Wed,  9 Oct 2013 15:29:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1381328993-12724-4-git-send-email-Dave.Martin@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1381328993-12724-1-git-send-email-Dave.Martin@arm.com>

On ARM, it's common for big-endian systems to use little-endian
byte order for devices.

This patch adds a __asm_cpu_to_le32() helper, similar to
cpu_to_le32().  This is intended for preparing 32-bit constants to
be stored to a device, or compared with data loaded from a device.

Rather than add umpteen variants up front, extra variants can be
added when needed.  Accessing devices directly from asm is not the
common case.
