The 'litex_[set|get]_reg()' methods use the 'reg_size' parameter to specify the width of the LiteX CSR (MMIO) register being accessed. Since 'u64' is the widest data being supported, the value of 'reg_size' MUST be between 1 and sizeof(u64), which SHOULD be checked at runtime if these methods are publicly available for use by other LiteX device drivers. At the same time, none of the existing (or foreseeable) LiteX device drivers have a need to access registers whose size is unknown during compilation. As such, all LiteX device drivers should use fixed-width accessor methods such as 'litex_[write|read][8|16|32|64]()'. This patch renames 'litex_[set|get]_reg()' to '_litex_[set|get]_reg()', indicating that they should NOT be directly called from outside of the 'include/linux/litex.h' header file.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
