[PATCH 4.4 08/38] ARC: timer: rtc: implement read loop in "C" vs. inline asm

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Nov 17 2016 - 05:39:46 EST


4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 922cc171998ac3dbe74d57011ef7ed57e9b0d7df upstream.

The current code doesn't even compile as somehow the inline assembly
can't see the register names defined as ARC_RTC_*
I'm pretty sure It worked when I first got it merged, but the tools were
definitely different then.

So better to write this in "C" anyways.
