RFC: pci_write_bits*() convenience functions

[Michał Mirosław]

There are a lot of code fragments in kernel looking like this:

u16 buf;
pci_read_config_word(pdev, offset, &buf);
buf &= ~mask;
buf |= value;
pci_write_config_word(pdev, offset, buf);

In in-kernel EDAC sources I found an implementation of pci_write_bits*()
that allows above 5 lines to be easily converted to:

pci_write_bits16(pdev, offset, value, mask);

Since this sequence is common while initializing a device or sometimes
during its normal operation I even wrote similar wrappers (see: driver
for CB710 memory card reader, posted about a month ago to LKML and
MMC mailinglists). I guess that there are more people hiding that
could use this.

This patch moves functions mentioned above to global include: linux/pci.h.
I verified that no users in EDAC code rely on the mask != (u16)(-1) test
and I think that plain pci_write_config_X() is better in cases where
this test is known to evaluate to false.

What's interesting, there are 2039 lines where pci_read_config_*() is used
and in only about 161 the return value is checked (as of current linux-2.6.git
tree: commit 3d44cc3e01..., quick grep test).

Best Regards,
Michał Mirosław
