Everybody who has > experienced strange failures on ARM lately should apply it ASAP and > re-test. As far as I can tell at least the following drivers are > affected: > > drivers/net/dnet.c: writel(*bufp++,&dnet->regs->TX_DATA_FIFO); > drivers/usb/musb/musb_core.c: writeb(*data++,&musbr->fifox[ep]); > drivers/mmc/pxa_mmc.c: writel(*src++, MMC_TXFIFO); > drivers/mmc/mxcmmc.c: writel(*buf++,&host->base->buffer_access); > drivers/spi/davinci_spi.c: writel(data1_reg_val | *txp++,&ds->regs->dat1); > > Albert, please apply ASAP! Applied, available on u-boot-arm/master. Amicalement, -- Albert.
