Re: [PATCH] memory: of_memory.c: remove unnecessary initialization

[Li, Zhen-Hua]

Infact, your patch does remove an orl operation, but add a new "move" operation.

You can test such two functions:
int func1(int rm1, int rm2){
        int i = 0;
        i |= rm1;
        i |= rm2;
}

and

int func(int rm1, int rm2){
        int i;
        i = rm1;
        i |= rm2;
}

Use gcc to compile them to assemble with "-S" operation, and you will find it.
