[Qemu-devel] Fwd: Max7310: confused about the method of reading output port register

[Yang Ning <yangn.fnst@cn.fujitsu.com>]

Dear  Zaborowski:

Firstly,I'm writing to express my thanks to you for the source
code of Max7310 which have helped me so much.
  But I'm still confused about the method of reading output port register.
code:
>    case 0x01:	/* Output port */
>        return s->level & ~s->direction;
>        break;

I found some instruction of output port register in the datasheet.
>" Reads from the output port register reflect the value that is in the flip-flop
>controlling the output selection, not the actual I/O value, which may differ if
>the out-put is overloaded."

So,in my opinion,in the defination of MAX7310State,whether the property
of outputport_reg should be added?
And does the method of reading/writing output port should be modified as
follows.

[reading]
     case 0x01:	/* Output port */
         return s->outputport_reg;
         break;
[writing]
     case 0x01:	/* Output port */

>                        diff &= ~(1 << line)) {
>           line = ffs(diff) - 1;
>            if (s->handler[line])
>                qemu_set_irq(s->handler[line], (data >> line) & 1);
>        }
>        s->level = (s->level & s->direction) | (data & ~s->direction);
         s->outputport_reg =  data;
         break;
