Hi Jean, Nicolas,

Patch looks mostly good, couple of points below.

Can we please remove the (void) casting of the return value when making
this change, especially since at91_st_read is now a macro which doesn't
even have a return value. Same in a few other places.

I can't see anything in this patch which calls this function? Also, why
is it extern? Can't it just be moved to whichever file is going to call
it and make it static there?
