Dear Mike Dunn,
This patch adds the bitrev library from the linux kernel. This is a simple algorithm that uses an 8 bit look-up table to reverse the bits in data types of 8, 16, or 32 bit widths. The docg4 nand flash driver uses it.
[port from linux kernel 2.6.20 commit a5cfc1ec58a07074dacb6aa8c79eff864c966d12]
Why did you port it from such an ancient kernel? Newer version is not an option?
Maybe I misunderstood and gave the wrong information (probably, now that I think about it). I took it fom the latest kernel, but reported the commit that added it to the kernel.
In this case, it's a simple algorithm and only a couple trivial changes were made since it was first added to the kernel, so the error is probably inconsequential, but I'll resubmit, reporting the HEAD of the kernel I took it from if you like.
BTW, I did the same for the docg4 driver, but I did the u-boot port a while ago, so in that case it's correct, at least practically. Since I did the port, the kernel docg4 driver had some enhancements (reliable mode) that
Knowing which tag in linux-stable you pulled it from is a good information too, yes.
