[U-Boot] [PATCH] at91_emac: fix compile warning

This patch removes the warning
---8<--- at91_emac.c: In function 'at91emac_write_hwaddr': at91_emac.c:487:2: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules --->8---
Signed-off-by: Andreas Bießmann andreas.devel@gmail.com --- BEWARE! This patch is only compile tested!
It is possible, that there is an endianess problem. It would be great, if one could test it on real hardware!
Reinhard, you could adopt the macb driver also to get the warning there fixed. If it works on at91sam this way it would also work on at91rm9200 cause they have the same endianess.

BEWARE! This patch is only compile tested!

If you have the time, can you make the same patch for macb? I can test it later on our hardware.
Reinhard, you could adopt the macb driver also to get the warning there fixed. If it works on at91sam this way it would also work on at91rm9200 cause they have the same endianess.
See above ;)

If you touch the file next time, can you remove that space before the \n ?

Already applied to u-boot-atmel/master, Thanks, Reinhard

You are wrong, try the following:
---8<--- # cat main.c #include <stdio.h>
int main(void) { unsigned int test1 = (1 << 8 | 1); unsigned int test2 = ((1 << 8) | 1); printf("test1 = %x\ntest2 = %x\n", test1, test2); }
# gcc main.c # ./a.out test1 = 101 test2 = 101 --->8---
Can you verify and supply a new patch if that holds true?
Is the test ok?
Already applied to u-boot-atmel/master,
But why do you apply the patch, if there are questions?

Dear Andreas Bießmann,
- writel( (netdev->enetaddr[0] | netdev->enetaddr[1] << 8 |
netdev->enetaddr[2] << 16 | netdev->enetaddr[3] << 24),
&emac->sa2l);
OUCH, I would think by precedence rules, | comes before << !?!?!
You are wrong, try the following:
Yep, just checked the table ;) - + comes before <<, but << comes before |, hence the mixup :)
Already applied to u-boot-atmel/master,
But why do you apply the patch, if there are questions?
At first, the << | seemed ok to me, so I applied ;)

Well that is ok, but this have never run on real hardware. Therefore it would be great if one (Jens or Eric) could add their tested-by ..
So please test the v2 for macb and I'm fine with that.

The patch was tested on real hardware and it works.
