Up until now there was no need in those stubs.
But since following commit compilation of U-Boot on ARC is broken:
commit 7861204c9af7fec1ea9b41541c272516235a6c93
itest: make memory access work under sandbox
...
That's because CMD_ITEST is enabled by default in common/Kconfig and now
map_physmem()/unmap_physmem() is used there.
So this patch adds missing stubs for ARC.
This looks OK, but rather than cut/pasting this exact same code yet
another time, why not create e.g. include/io-base.h that contains this,
and share it amongst all architectures?
I did think about that.
But the problem is "asm/io.h" is included in lots of sources and
it's hard to tell a reason for that inclusion - if it's only because of
map_physmem() or other stuff that might exist in the same header.
For example lots of accessors are described in the same "asm/io.h" like
readl(), writeb() etc.
Frankly I'd prefer in that particular case to limit a change to my
architecture.
Still thoughts are welcome.
FWIW, I expected all the existing <asm/io.h> to simply include that new
header in place of the duplicated code. Certainly, going through the
entire source tree and adding #include statements for that new header
would not be a good approach.
