Create a new function that returns a register descriptor given its ID. Change ipa_reg_offset() and ipa_reg_n_offset() so they take a register descriptor argument rather than an IPA pointer and register ID. Have them accept null pointers (and return an invalid 0 offset), to avoid the need for excessive error checking. (A warning is issued whenever ipa_reg() returns 0). Call ipa_reg() or ipa_reg_n() to look up information about the register before calls to ipa_reg_offset() and ipa_reg_n_offset(). Delay looking up offsets until they're needed to read or write registers. Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <elder@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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.
