Hi all,

When I tried to use devm_ioremap function and review related code, I found
devm_ioremap and devm_ioremap_nocache is almost the same with each other,
except one use ioremap while the other use ioremap_nocache.

For all arches? Really? Look at MIPS, and x86, they have different
functions.


Both mips and x86 end up mapping the same function, but other arches don't.
mn10300 is one where ioremap and ioremap_nocache are definitely different.

alpha: identical
arc: identical
arm: identical
arm64: identical
cris: different <==
frv: identical
hexagone: identical
ia64: different <==
m32r: identical
m68k: identical
metag: identical
microblaze: identical
mips: identical
mn10300: different <==
nios: identical
openrisc: different <==
parisc: identical
riscv: identical
s390: identical
sh: identical
sparc: identical
tile: identical
um: rely on asm/generic
unicore32: identical
x86: identical
asm/generic (no mmu): identical

So 4 among all arches seems to have ioremap() and ioremap_nocache() being different.

Could we have a define set by the 4 arches on which ioremap() and ioremap_nocache() are different, something like HAVE_DIFFERENT_IOREMAP_NOCACHE ?

While ioremap's
default function is ioremap_nocache, so devm_ioremap_nocache also have the
same function with devm_ioremap, which can just be killed to reduce the size
of devres.o(from 20304 bytes to 18992 bytes in my compile environment).

I have posted two versions, which use macro instead of function for
devm_ioremap_nocache[1] or devm_ioremap[2]. And Greg suggest me to kill
devm_ioremap_nocache for no need to keep a macro around for the duplicate
thing. So here comes v3 and please help to review.

I don't think this can be done, what am I missing? These functions are
not identical, sorry for missing that before.

thanks,

greg k-h
