Re: [PATCH] memory: renesas-rpc-if: Avoid unaligned bus access for HyperFlash

Hi Andrew,

thanks for this patch!

I could imagine the code becomes more readable if we make use of
something like:

	unsigned long from_ul = from;

and then use it throughout the function?

> +#ifdef CONFIG_64BIT

> +#else
> +		*(u32 *)to = __raw_readl(from);
> +#endif

To keep the ifdeffery minimal:

	if (maxw == 8)
		*(u64 *)to = __raw_readq(from);
	else
 		*(u32 *)to = __raw_readl(from);

and let the compiler do its job.

I wondered if this could be a helper function somewhere instead of open
coded in this driver. However, I did not find any similar code in the
kernel yet, so it might be too early to make this a helper. Have you
looked for similar code? I might have just missed it.

Happy hacking,
