Hi,

can you possibly implement those as inline functions ? It'd be also great if you 
could convert the other macros to inline functions.

Thanks!

I've found there are some different data type warning occur when I'm
translating inline function
since all the driver originately call write and read marco.

Most of them is easy to deal with sicne the address is usually a
32-bit address "unsigned int *".
However, the driver/serial/ns16550.c used readb/writeb but the
"address" passed in ns16550.c is
byte-wised (unsigned char *).

And there are also address casted in (ulong) in ns16550.c.
serial_out(UART_LCR_BKSE | UART_LCRVAL, (ulong)&com_port->lcr);
I'm not sure to fix this way would affect ns16550 in other architecutre?.
#define serial_out(x, y)       writeb(x, (unsigned int *)y)

And there are also problems when translating readb from macro to
inline function.
Some driver cannot be compiled with a return value inside the readb.
I think I can post the fix of writeb for NDS32 architecture and see if
you give some comments
then I do for other architecture later.

Hi Wolfgang,
Could you please pickup these 2 patches since it was independent to
r/w inline functions?
I'm not sure if the merge windows has been closed.
Or should I pick these 2 patches into nds32 repo?

I'm agree with you but I'm not sure why dose it need a ulong casting
(64 bit data?) since I'm not familiar
with ns16550 hardware.

Please check ns16550.c, current code has another such kind of casting
#ifdef CONFIG_SYS_NS16550_PORT_MAPPED
#define serial_out(x, y)        outb(x, (ulong)y)
#define serial_in(y)            inb((ulong)y)
[...]
#else
#define serial_out(x, y)        writeb(x, y)
#define serial_in(y)            readb(y)
#endif

Oh I've just found where the problem is inside the io.h
There are the same problem in other io.h (and in linux) if the specific
macro wasn't defined, the header will use a kind of default macro.
I'll post the patch for NDS32 later which also fix this problem.

Plesse give comment to the PATCH v2 later and see if everyone like
such kind of implement.

I'm going to change writeb/readb series functions from macro into
inline functions.
However, I've found data type casting problem in NS16550.
Only here the serial_out with CONFIG_SYS_NS16550_PORT_MAPPED is used
for board "eNET".
Is this a necessary for this machine  to access 8-bytes data?

Since inline functions are type sensitive,
I've suggest to replace the macro for other machines like writeb(x, (uint)y)
but Marek think this is not good enough.
Could you give some comments?

For all arches? Have you seen /arch/x86/include/asm/io.h?

outb/inb access 8-bit data in a 16-bit address space and the ns16650 has
(for the x86 architecture at least) byte aligned registers

Hmm, but eNET (well, all x86 really) would not use writeb/readb - outb/inb
would be used instead so if you are only touching the writeb/readb, eNET
would never see this. So I don't understand where your type conflicts are
occuring

Looking at the ulong cast, I was wondering why it was there, and the commit
diff says I wrote it which is a bit of a worry :) x86 only has 65535
ports accessible via outb and inb, so I would have thought the case should
have been a ushort, not a ulong.

I'm sorry, but without a patch to see what you are actually doing, I'm
having a bit of difficulty picturing what is happening and what could be
going wrong...

Currently, I have take a looked into arm, mips, and blackfin.
Because the most probably common problem lead with the function
replacement might be
NS16550, so I check NS16550 at first.

According to your reminding, it seem there is no necessary for x86 to
replace the macro.
Is that correct?
However I have no idea is there any other architecture like x86.

Okay, so it's not actually an "ulong" casting.

Because the the address passed into writeb and readb in ns16550.c will be
"unsigned char" if they defined CONFIG_SYS_NS16550_REG_SIZE as "1" or
"-4" and then
will lead compile warnings when the address of inline function of
writeb/readb is "unsigned int".
(Please refer to include/ns16550.c)

Okay, so we can double confirmed it is an ushort not an ulong.

Sorry not to add you at the beginning when the discussion begin.
Because when I sent this patch, I thought it is only related to NDS32
arch at first.

For examples, the origin implementation in macro is this.
#define __arch_getb(a)                  (*(unsigned char *)(a))
#define __arch_putb(v, a)               (*(unsigned char *)(a) = (v))

#define dmb()          __asm__ __volatile__ ("" : : : "memory")
#define __iormb()      dmb()
#define __iowmb()      dmb()

#define writeb(v, c)   ({ u8  __v = v; __iowmb(); __arch_putb(__v, c); __v; })
#define readb(a)   __arch_getb(a)

The new implementation in inline function will be like this.

static inline void writeb(unsigned char val, unsigned char *addr)
{
       __iowmb();
       __arch_putb(val, addr);
}
static inline unsigned char readb(unsigned char *addr)
{
        u8      val;

        val = __arch_getb(addr);
        __iormb();
        return val;
}

Yes, I think so - x86 will use inb/outb not readb/writeb. For all other
arch's, I suspect these may be one and the same

No, x86 is unique - It define 'port mapped I/O' to free up the 64kB of
memory that would otherwise be taken up by device I/O - that was 10% of
the memory on a 640kB PC :)

No

Hmm, I can't provide any insight there

I think so - I'll test if it build when cast as a ushort

In arch/x86/include/io.h:

#define readb(addr) (*(volatile unsigned char *) (addr))

Feel free to change

inb/outb are already inline funtions (via some very ugly macros)

Since the NDS32 has been come into mainline.
Could I pick up this kind of simple changes of reviewed patches which
are related to NDS32 only by myself,
and then send pull-request to you?
Hope this could reducing your loading and gain some benefits

Thanks.

you've got a maintainer tree now:
	http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot/u-boot-nds32.git

so you should be gathering all the NDS32 patches and pushing to wolfgang.  
please see the documentation here for the process:
	http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/DevelopmentProcess

short answer:
	- fixes should get pushed at any time
	- everything else should get pushed during merge window

Thanks for your hint.
Will do patch collections soon.
