"may" be read and compared?
Is there a case where there is no read and compare?
Yes, if the mask is not set.
If the mask is not set, the address is "read" anyway
or it is only "watched" for any change?
Sorry the mechanism is really not clear to me.
The "value" is only used to avoid the sleep, i.e. to check if the write
has already happened. We're waiting on *a write* rather than *a value*,
so it's not equivalent to "wait until equal" call. It's more of a "sleep
until something happens".
Please make things explicit in doxygen.
The behaviour of each case should be explained crystal clear.
Thanks
It is explained in the comments to `rte_power_monitor()` call. But OK,
i'll add more clarification for the struct too.
