From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: jszhang@marvell.com (Jisheng Zhang) Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2015 20:31:23 +0800 Subject: [PATCH v2] clocksource/drivers/dw_apb_timer: Use {readl|writel}_relaxed Message-ID: <1447417883-7881-1-git-send-email-jszhang@marvell.com> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org The driver is safe to use the relaxed version. From another side, the relaxed io accessor macros are available on all architectures now, so we can use the relaxed versions to get a trivial overall system performance improvement and reduce the latency a bit on some architectures. Signed-off-by: Jisheng Zhang --- since v1: - correct the wrong sentence in commit msg about writel performance on CA9 with outer L2 cache.
