Subject: [PATCH net v4 5/5] net: macb: avoid double endianness swap in macb_set_hwaddr()
Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2025 16:55:09 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250820-macb-fixes-v4-5-23c399429164@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250820-macb-fixes-v4-0-23c399429164@bootlin.com>
writel() does a CPU->LE conversion. Drop manual cpu_to_le*() calls.
On little-endian system:
- cpu_to_le32() is a no-op (LE->LE),
- writel() is a no-op (LE->LE),
- dev_addr will therefore not be swapped and written as-is.
On big-endian system:
- cpu_to_le32() is a swap (BE->LE),
- writel() is a swap (BE->LE),
- dev_addr will therefore be swapped twice and written as a BE value.
This was found using sparse:
