If you write 32bit, you risk to overwrite the time_on, time_1 and time_2w registers. Why do not use writeb ? > val = (3 << REG2OFF(&ata_regs->time_off)) | > (3 << REG2OFF(&ata_regs->time_on)) | > (((pio_t1[mode] + T) / T) << REG2OFF(&ata_regs->time_1)) | > (((pio_t2_8[mode] + T) / T) << REG2OFF(&ata_regs->time_2w)); > - writel(val, &ata_regs->time_off); > + writel(val, reg); Understood. You *want* to write all registers in one shot. However this is hackish. Or you write each register separetely, or you use a union to access the register block with a 32 bit access. Everybody reading "writel(val, &ata_regs->time_off)" expects that time_off is 32bit wide.
