Strange. I kept you in --to field. I know people added in cc are sometimes removed by the list when they have selected "avoid duplicate mails" option for their list. > The main question I have is be32_to_cpup() the right thing to do.

The problem i see here is: The data passed via DT comes as Little Endian in the kernel. For a little endian system, byte zero will contain the data and so (u8) val look to be the correct thing. For a big endian system, byte 3 will contain data as it is swapped by be32_to_cpup. So (u8) val would return value stored by byte 0 instead. ?? Does my logic look correct to you?? -- viresh -- 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/
