[PATCH] mtd: rawnand: tegra: Simplify maximum determination in tegra_nand_setup_timing()

[Markus Elfring]

Reduce nested max() calls by a single max3() call in this
function implementation.

The source code was transformed by using the Coccinelle software.

I am sorry, I do not see what gets simplified. max(max(a,b),max(c,d))
looks simpler than max3(a,b,max(c,d)). Does it bring something in terms
of optimization?

Thanks,
Miquèl

You would eventually like to express that a maximum should be determined
from three (or even four?) values.

Corresponding effects depend on various factors, don't they?

Markus

If there was a max4(), why not, but in this case I don't see the point.

Ok, so I'll assume the answer to my question is "no".

Do you miss such a programming interface so far?
Would you be looking for corresponding software adjustments?

Markus

No I do not.

Not necessarily, unless there is some performance improvement.

Sorry for not being clear.
