Is it better than
for (i = 0; i < len; i += 4) {
u32 val = __raw_readl(ecc->regs + ECC_ENCPAR(i / 4));
memcpy(data + bytes + i, &val, min(len, 4));
}
I'm probably missing something, but what's the point of creating a
temporary buffer of 112 bytes on the stack since you'll have to copy
this data to the oob buffer at some point?
