Hi Daniel, AUX registers is a ARC specific mechanism used to access some of the core functionality (intc, caches, ....) which other arches likely do via MMIO. I don't think a generic abstraction exists. And IMHO it doesn't make sense to invent one given this may not map directly to other arches. This was one of the key reasons arc intc/timers were not added to drivers/* in first place. I do agree with compilation test coverage aspect though. Maybe we add a *hack* to include/soc/nps/common.h #ifndef __ARC__ #define write_aux_reg(r, v) #define read_aux_reg(r) 0 #endif What say you ? -Vineet -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
