not sure ... in general, device registers should be accessed with io.h helpers
instead of dereferenced by volatile pointers. i can think of cases on Blackfin
where the io.h helpers would be required, and even using volatile pointers
could result in misbehavior.

Reverting the structures to non-packed
If (just asking, not asserting) the issue is caused by fields being
u8 where u8 access is not possible, then should you not make the
fields u16 / u32 according to access requirements?
The problem is not with the fields being of a different width. AFAIK,
the packed attribute changes the generated code to access even the
word field elements in a byte by byte manner
Infact, there is a discussion on lkml that I can point
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/27/278
It seems that the discussion did not lead to a conclusion but it was
sensible (at least for ARM) to remove the packed attribute from this
structure
What does the USB spec say ? It might be a HW bug?
it isn't covered by the USB spec. these are structs for hardware
registers in the EHCI usb host controller.
I see ... so replacing them with unions of accessors where it colides
might
work ?
i'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but i think you're pointing
to the
right answer: drivers/usb/host/ehci.h:ehci_{read,write}l() should
*not* be
casting/derferencing the pointers directly. they should instead be using
standard {read,write}l() funcs from asm/io.h.
Amit: can you post a new patch that does that instead ? don't touch the
packed attribute, but change ehci_readl() to use readl() and
ehci_writel() to

I'll make the changes and post the patch after testing successfully.

i'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but i think you're pointing to the
right answer: drivers/usb/host/ehci.h:ehci_{read,write}l() should *not* be
casting/derferencing the pointers directly. they should instead be using
standard {read,write}l() funcs from asm/io.h.
Amit: can you post a new patch that does that instead ? don't touch the
packed attribute, but change ehci_readl() to use readl() and ehci_writel() to
use writel() ?

Reverting the structures to non-packed If (just asking, not asserting) the issue is caused by fields being u8 where u8 access is not possible, then should you not make the fields u16 / u32 according to access requirements? The problem is not with the fields being of a different width.
