Dear Ajay Bhargav,
In message 1207509190.33599.1311140198703.JavaMail.root@ahm.einfochips.com you wrote:
e.g. struct armdgpio_gplr_register { u32 gplr0; u32 gplr1; u32 gplr2; u8 pad[some_value]; //this padding is going to be big u32 gplr3; }
Is there any specific reason for not using u32 for the padding as well?
then while using this particular set i can just use ARMD1_GPLR_BASE ( ARMD1_GPIO_BASE + GPLR_OFFSET). moreover i am not using all the registers so i define only those register sets which are in use. what you say about this?
Why would you need this BASE + OFFSET notation when using a C struct for the registers? Thi smakes little sense to me.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
