[PATCH] ieee1394: ohci1394: add reg_flush, remove bogus barriers

2007-03-04 Thread Stefan Richter
Add a utility function to flush MMIO writes. Remove some mb()s which didn't do anything. There are still a few wmb()s in ohci1394 which look suspicious. Shouldn't there be dma_sync_*() calls instead? Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- drivers/ieee1394/ohci1394.c | 47
